BENJAMIN RODRIGUEZ, Plaintiff v. CLARK COUNTY DETENTION CENTER, et al., Defendants
ORDER
I. DISCUSSION
On December 8, 2022, this Court issued an order granting Plaintiff until February 6, 2023, to either pay the full $402 filing fee for a civil action or to submit a fully complete application to proceed in forma pauperis with all three required documents. (ECF No. 3). Although Plaintiff has not filed a fully complete application to proceed in forma pauperis on this Court's approved form, Plaintiff has filed several other documents with the Court. (See ECF Nos. 4, 6, 7, 8).
The Court will grant Plaintiff an extension of time until March 10, 2023, to either pay the full $402 filing fee or file a fully complete application to proceed in forma pauperis with all three required documents.
II. CONCLUSION
It is therefore ordered that Plaintiff has until March 10, 2023, to either pay the full $402 filing fee or file a fully complete application to proceed in forma pauperis with all three required documents: (1) a completed application with the inmate's two signatures on page 3, (2) a completed financial certificate that is signed both by the inmate and the prison or jail official, and (3) a copy of the inmate's trust fund account statement for the previous six-month period.
Plaintiff is cautioned that this action will be subject to dismissal without prejudice if Plaintiff fails to timely comply with this order. A dismissal without prejudice allows Plaintiff to refile the case with the Court, under a new case number, when Plaintiff can file a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the required filing fee.
The Clerk of the Court is directed to send Plaintiff Benjamin Rodriguez the approved form application to proceed in forma pauperis for an inmate and instructions for the same.
