BRIAN ADE, Plaintiff, v. ERIC LOPEZ et al., Defendants.
ORDER
I. DISCUSSION
According to the Nevada Department of Corrections ("NDOC") inmate database, Plaintiff is no longer incarcerated. However, Plaintiff has not filed an updated address with this Court. The Court notes that pursuant to Nevada Local Special Rule 2-2, "[t]he plaintiff must immediately file with the court written notification of any change of address. The notification must include proof of service on each opposing party or the party's attorney. Failure to comply with this rule may result in dismissal of the action with prejudice." Nev. Loc. Special R. 2-2. This Court grants Plaintiff thirty (30) days from the date of entry of this order to file his updated address with this Court. If Plaintiff does not update the Court with his current address within thirty (30) days from the date of entry of this order, the Court will dismiss this action without prejudice.
Additionally, the Court denies the application to proceed in forma pauperis for prisoners (ECF No. 1) as moot because Plaintiff is no longer incarcerated. The Court now directs Plaintiff to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis by a non-prisoner within thirty (30) days from the date of this order or pay the full filing fee of $400. ///
II. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff shall file his updated address with the Court within thirty (30) days from the date of this order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis for prisoners (ECF No. 1) is DENIED as moot.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court SHALL SEND Plaintiff the approved form application to proceed in forma pauperis by a non-prisoner, as well as the document entitled information and instructions for filing an in forma pauperis application.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that within thirty (30) days from the date of this order, Plaintiff shall either: (1) file a fully complete application to proceed in forma pauperis for non-prisoners; or (2) pay the full filing fee of $400.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, if Plaintiff fails to timely comply with this order, the Court shall dismiss this case without prejudice.
