Plaintiff, who is in the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections, has submitted a

21

plaintiff must pay an initial partial filing fee of $5.71 toward the full filing fee of

date this order is entered in which to have the designated fee sent to the Clerk of the

24

Court. Failure to do so may result in dismissal of this action. In the event that this

25

action is dismissed, the full filing fee must still be paid pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

The movant herein is permitted to maintain this action to conclusion without the
necessity of prepayment of any additional fees or costs or the giving of security

therefor. This order granting leave to proceed in forma pauperis shall not extend to

2

the issuance of subpoenas at government expense.

3.

The Clerk of the Court shall SEND plaintiff two copies of this order. Plaintiff is

4

ordered to make the necessary arrangements to have one copy of this order attached

5

Department of Corrections.

11

the account exceeds $10.00, until the full $350.00 filing fee has been paid for this

12

action. The Clerk of the Court shall SEND a copy of this order to the Finance

13

Division of the Clerk’s Office. The Clerk shall also SEND a copy of this order to the

22

General’s Office cannot accept service, the Office shall file, under seal, the last

23

known address(es) of those defendant(s).

2

defendant(s) shall file and serve an answer or other response to the complaint within

sixty (60) days from the date of this order.

9.

Henceforth, plaintiff shall serve upon defendant(s) or, if an appearance has been

5

entered by counsel, upon their attorney(s), a copy of every pleading, motion or other

6

document submitted for consideration by the court. Plaintiff shall include with the

7

original paper submitted for filing a certificate stating the date that a true and correct

8

9

counsel has entered a notice of appearance, the plaintiff shall direct service to the

10

individual attorney named in the notice of appearance, at the address stated therein.

11

The court may disregard any paper received by a district judge or magistrate judge

which has not been filed with the Clerk, and any paper received by a district judge,

13

14
