MARLOS MOORE, Plaintiff, v. DR. S CALDWELL BARR, Defendant.
ORDER
I. DISCUSSION
This action is a pro se civil rights complaint filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 by an individual who has been released from the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections. Plaintiff submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis for prisoners. (ECF No. 4.) Because Plaintiff is no longer in custody, the Court denies the application to proceed in forma pauperis for prisoners as moot. The Court now directs Plaintiff to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis by a non-prisoner within thirty (30) days from the date of this order or pay the full filing fee of $402. The Court will retain Plaintiff's civil rights complaint (ECF No. 1-1) but will not file it until the matter of the payment of the filing fee is resolved. If Plaintiff does not timely comply with this order, this action will be subject to dismissal without prejudice
