Case No. 2:17-cv-01356-JCM-CWH
ORDER
Presently before the Court is pro se Plaintiff Mark Weorner’s complaint against the State of
Nevada and Clark County Court (ECF No. 1), filed on May 11, 2017.
12
Under 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a), a filing fee of $350.00 is required to commence a civil action in
13
district court. Additionally, based on the Judicial Conference Schedule of Fees, District Court
14
Miscellaneous Fee Schedule, effective June 1, 2016, a $50.00 administrative fee applies for filing a
15
civil action in district court, making the total filing fee $400.00. Under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1), the
16
court may authorize the commencement of a civil case “without prepayment of fees and costs or
17
security therefor” if a person submits an affidavit including a statement of all assets that
18
demonstrates the person is unable to pay the fees or give security for them.
Plaintiff has not included either the required filing fee or an application to proceed in forma
19
20
pauperis as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). Plaintiff’s claim cannot proceed until either the
21
filing fee has been paid or a valid in forma pauperis application has been submitted to the Court.
