PAMELA ERWIN, Petitioner, v. STATE OF NEVADA, et al., Respondents.
ORDER
ANNE R. TRAUM UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Pamela Erwin, an individual incarcerated at Nevada's Florence McClure Women's Correctional Center, initiated this action, pro se, on May 4, 2023. In an order entered on May 8, 2023 (ECF No. 3), the Court gave Erwin 90 days-until August 7, 2023 (August 6 was a Sunday)-to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis. Erwin did not file an application to proceed in forma pauperis by that due date.
The Court will, sua sponte, extend the time for Erwin to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis by another 60 days. In lieu of filing an application to proceed in forma pauperis, Erwin may pay the $5 filing fee for this action.
Erwin is warned that if she neither pays the $5 filing fee nor files an application to proceed in forma pauperis within 60 days from the entry of this order, the Court may dismiss this action.
It is therefore ordered that Petitioner will have 60 days from the date of entry of this order to pay the $5 filing fee for this action or file an application to proceed in forma pauperis.
It is further ordered that the Clerk of the Court is directed to send Petitioner two copies of the form for a state prisoner to apply to proceed in forma pauperis along with any available instructions.
