Leah Buchannan, Plaintiff, v. Aces High Management, LLC; and Sher Gaming, LLC, Defendants.
ORDER
DANIEL J. ALBREGTS UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This matter is before the Court on pro se Plaintiff Leah Buchannan's application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (ECF No. 1) and Complaint (ECF No. 11). Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis is not on the Court's approved form. Under Nevada Local Special Rule (LSR) 1-1, applications to proceed in forma pauperis “must be made on the form provided by the court.”The Court will therefore deny the application to proceed in forma pauperis without prejudice for Plaintiff to re-file a complete application on the correct form or to pay the filing fee.
LSR 1-1 refers to the Court's local rule on applications to proceed in forma pauperis. The Court's local rules may be accessed on the Court's website, https://www.nvd.uscourts.gov/court-information/forms/
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) is denied without prejudice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is kindly directed to mail Plaintiff a copy of this order and the form application for a non-inmate to proceed in forma pauperis and its accompanying instruction packet.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff shall have until September 11, 2023 to either: (1) file a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis in compliance with 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1) and LSR 1-1; or (2) pay the full $402 filing fee, which includes the $350 filing fee plus the $52 administrative fee. Plaintiff is advised that failure to comply with this order will result in a recommendation to the district judge that the case be dismissed.
