HERMAN R. CANTRELL, Plaintiff v. ISIDRO BACA, et al., Defendants
ORDER
I. DISCUSSION
On November 19, 2019, Plaintiff, who is an inmate in the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections, submitted a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF Nos. 1, 1-1).
On December 9, 2019, this Court denied Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis, without prejudice, because Plaintiff had not submitted a signature on the acknowledgement portion on page 3 of the application. (ECF No. 3). Further, the Court granted Plaintiff an opportunity to cure the deficiencies of his application to proceed in forma pauperis, or in the alternative, pay the full filing fee for this action, within thirty days from the date of the order. (Id.) The thirty-day period has now expired, and Plaintiff has not filed another application to proceed in forma pauperis, paid the full filing fee, or otherwise responded to the Court's order.
The Court now reassesses Plaintiff's original application to proceed in forma pauperis at ECF No. 1 and will consider Plaintiff's application complete. As such, Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) is reinstated. Further, Plaintiff's case shall be placed in line for screening. / / / / / / / / / / / /
II. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) is considered complete. The Clerk of the Court is instructed to reinstate the application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) as an active, pending motion.
DATED: January 16, 2020.
