RONALD LEE ALLEN, Plaintiff v. NAPHCARE, et al., Defendants
ORDER
I. DISCUSSION
According to the Washoe County Detention Facility 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 Rule of Practice IA 3-1, a “pro se party must immediately file with the court written notification of any change of mailing address, email address, telephone number, or facsimile number. 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 the dismissal of the action, entry of default judgment, or other sanctions as deemed appropriate by the court.” Nev. Loc. R. IA 3-1. This Court grants Plaintiff until Friday, May 27, 2022, to file his updated address with this Court. If Plaintiff does not update the Court with his current address by May 27, 2022, this case will be subject to dismissal without prejudice.
Additionally, the Court denies the application to proceed in forma pauperis for inmates (ECF No. 4) 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 by May 27, 2022 or pay the full filing fee of $402 which includes the $350 statutory filing fee and $52 administrative fee.
II. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, it is ordered that Plaintiff will file an updated address with the Clerk of the Court by May 27, 2022.
It is further ordered that Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis for inmates (ECF No. 4) is denied as moot.
It is further ordered that the Clerk of the Court will 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 by May 27, 2022, Plaintiff will either: (1) file a fully complete application to proceed in forma pauperis for non-prisoners; or (2) pay the full filing fee of $402.
It is further ordered that, if Plaintiff fails to timely comply with this order, this case will be subject to dismissal without prejudice.
