Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED as follows:

Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF #1) is GRANTED; plaintiff

21
action is dismissed, the full filing fee must still be paid pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
22
1915(b)(2).
23
2.
The movant herein is permitted to maintain this action to conclusion without the
24
necessity of prepayment of any additional fees or costs or the giving of security therefor.
25
This order granting leave to proceed in forma pauperis shall not extend to the issuance
26
of subpoenas at government expense.
1
3.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2), the Nevada Department of Corrections shall pay to

The Attorney General’s Office shall advise the Court within twenty-one (21) days of the

15
cannot accept service, the Office shall file, under seal, the last known address(es) of
16
