Plaintiffs,

ORDER

STEVEN B. WOLFSON, et al.,

(Mots. Ext. Time – ECF Nos. 19, 20, 21, 24;

Defendants.

This matter is before the court on Plaintiffs Edwin Artiga, Gaston Joseph Danjou, Oscar

13

Perez-Marquez, and Fabian F. Rosas’ Motions to Extend Time (ECF No. 19, 20, 21, 24) and

14

Plaintiff Gaston Joseph Danjou’s Motion for Documents Filed (ECF No. 35). These Motions are

15

referred to the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A) and LR IB 1-3 of the Local Rules

16

of Practice.

17

Plaintiffs are prisoners in the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections (“NDOC”)

18

and they are proceeding in this civil rights action pro se, which means that they are not represented

19

by an attorney. See LSR 2-1. Plaintiffs commenced this action on September 7, 2016, by filing a

20

civil rights Complaint (ECF No. 1-1) as part of their initiating documents, but they did not pay the

21

filing fee or submit applications to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”). The court informed

22

plaintiffs that the complaint would be retained but no further action would be taken until the matter

23

of the payment of the filing fee is resolved. Order (ECF No. 2). The court ordered plaintiffs to

24

either: (1) file a fully complete application to proceed without prepayment of fees, or (2) pay the

25

full $400 fee for filing a civil action. Orders (ECF Nos. 2, 4).

26

Plaintiffs Artiga, Perez-Marquez, Danjou, and Rosas have filed motions requesting an

27

extension of time to comply with the court’s orders. See Mots. (ECF No. 19, 20, 21, 24).1 Having

28

1

Artiga, Perez-Marquez, and Rosas subsequently filed IFP Applications (ECF Nos. 23, 33, 34).

1

1

reviewed and considered the matter, and for good cause appearing, the motions are granted.

2

Mr. Danjou also filed a Motion (ECF No. 35) requesting a copy of all documents and

3

pleadings filed in this case. To date, Danjou has not filed an IFP application or paid the $400 filing

4

fee. The court informed plaintiffs that no further action would be taken until the matter of the

5

payment of the filing fee is resolved. Order (ECF No. 2). Thus, the motion is denied.

6

Based on the foregoing,

7

IT IS ORDERED:

1. Plaintiffs Edwin Artiga, Oscar Perez-Marquez, Gaston Joseph Danjou, and Fabian F.
