MARK STRADLEY, Plaintiff v. J. DZURENDA et al., Defendants
ORDER
I. DISCUSSION
According to the Nevada Department of Corrections ("NDOC") inmate database, Plaintiff is no longer incarcerated. However, Plaintiff has not filed an updated address with this Court. The Court notes that pursuant to Nevada Local Rule of Practice IA 3-1, a "pro se party must immediately file with the court written notification of any change of mailing address, email address, telephone number, or facsimile number. The notification must include proof of service on each opposing party or the party's attorney. Failure to comply with this rule may result in the dismissal of the action, entry of default judgment, or other sanctions as deemed appropriate by the court." Nev. Loc. R. IA 3-1. This Court grants Plaintiff until Monday, November 2, 2020, to file his updated address with this Court. If Plaintiff does not update the Court with his current address by Monday, November 2, 2020, the Court will dismiss this action without prejudice.
Additionally, the Court denies the application to proceed in forma pauperis for prisoners (ECF No. 8) as moot because Plaintiff is no longer incarcerated. The Court now directs Plaintiff to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis by a non-prisoner by Monday, November 2, 2020, or pay the full filing fee of $400.
II. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff will file his updated address with the Court by Monday, November 2, 2020.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's application to proceed in forma pauperis for prisoners (ECF No. 8) is DENIED as moot.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court WILL SEND Plaintiff the approved form application to proceed in forma pauperis by a non-prisoner, as well as the document entitled information and instructions for filing an in forma pauperis application.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that by Monday, November 2, 2020, Plaintiff will either: (1) file a fully complete application to proceed in forma pauperis for non-prisoners; or (2) pay the full filing fee of $400.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, if Plaintiff fails to timely comply with this order, the Court will dismiss this case without prejudice.
DATED THIS 16th day of October 2020.
