JOSHUA CHAVIRA, Plaintiff, v. CLARK COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY, et al., Defendants.
ORDER
I. DISCUSSION
Plaintiff, who is a prisoner in the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections ("NDOC"), has submitted a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF No. 1-1). Plaintiff has neither paid the full filing fee for this matter nor filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. On February 28, 2020, the Court ordered Plaintiff to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the full filing fee. (ECF No. 3.) On March 25, 2020, Plaintiff filed a motion for extension of time to file the in forma pauperis application or pay the full filing fee. The Court grants the motion for extension of time (ECF No. 4) and gives Plaintiff thirty (30) days from the date of this order to comply.
II. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion to extent time (ECF No. 4) is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court SHALL SEND Plaintiff the approved form application to proceed in forma pauperis by a prisoner, as well as the document entitled information and instructions for filing an in forma pauperis application.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if Plaintiff does not timely comply with this order, the court will enter a report and recommendation to dismiss this action.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall retain the complaint (ECF No. 1-1), but shall not file it at this time.
