Plaintiff,

ORDER

v.

(Mot. to Verify Payments – Dkt. #9)

JAMES A. ORONOZ, et al.,
Defendants.

This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff Shawn Pritchett’s Motion to Verify Payments

13

to the U.S. District Court of Nevada (Dkt. #9), filed December 18, 2015. Mr. Pritchett’s Motion

14

seeks verification that the Court received his payment of $7.69, which the Nevada Department of

15

Corrections processed in early November. On December 16, 2015, the Court entered an Order

16

(Dkt. #8) providing Mr. Pritchett with verification of the $7.69 payment. This Order appears to

17

have crossed Mr. Pritchett’s Motion in the mail. The Court will therefore instruct the Clerk of

18

the Court to mail him a copy of the Receipt of Payment (Dkt. #7) and the Court’s December 16,

19

2015 Order (Dkt. #8).

20

Mr. Pritchett is reminded that the Court will screen his Complaint in a separate order.

21

See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2), 1915A(a) (requiring district courts to “review, before docketing, if

22

feasible or, in any event, as soon as practicable after docketing, a complaint in a civil action in

23

which a prisoner seeks redress from a government entity or officer or employee of a

24

governmental entity”); Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1129 (9th Cir. 2000) (en banc). If Mr.

25

Pritchett’s Complaint states a valid claim for relief, the Court will then direct the Clerk of the

26

Court to issue summons to the Defendants and instruct the United States Marshal Service to

27

serve the summons and complaint. Cf. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(c)(3); LSR 1-3(c).

28

Accordingly,
