Initiating Document (ECF No. 1); Complaint
(ECF No. 1-1)

REGIONAL JUSTICE CRT, et al.,

8

Defendants.
Before the Court is pro se plaintiff Nathan Campbell’s complaint. (ECF No. 1-1). The Clerk

9
10

docketed Campbell’s complaint on May 17, 2017, noting that plaintiff submitted his complaint to this

11

Court, but he did not pay the required filing fee or file an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF

12

No. 1). On May 24, 2017, the Clerk sent Campbell an advisory letter informing him that he must,

13

“comply with our Local Rules of Practice for the U.S. District Court District of Nevada” and that if he

14

wishes to proceed without paying a filing fee (in forma pauperis), he, “must complete an application to

15

proceed in forma pauperis on this Court’s approved form.” (ECF No. 2 at 1). Plaintiff has not to date

16

paid the filing fee or filed an in forma pauperis application.

17

The plaintiff is a self-represented litigant, so the Court will give him one final opportunity to

18

comply with this Court’s rules: plaintiff must either pay the filing fee or complete the in forma pauperis

19

application within 30 days of this Order or the Court will dismiss this case. If the plaintiff wishes to

20

proceed in forma pauperis and fills out the application, the Court will screen1 the complaint at that time.

Section 1915 requires that if the Court grants an application to proceed in forma pauperis, the Court must review
plaintiffs’ complaint to determine whether the complaint is frivolous, malicious, fails to state a claim on which the
Court may grant relief, or if the complaint seeks damages against a defendant who is immune from that relief. 28
U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B).

NOTICE
Pursuant to Local Rules IB 3-1 and IB 3-2, a party may object to orders and reports and
recommendations issued by the magistrate judge. Objections must be in writing and filed with the Clerk
of the Court within fourteen days. LR IB 3-1, 3-2. The Supreme Court has held that the courts of appeal

12

may determine that an appeal has been waived due to the failure to file objections within the specified
13

time. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 142 (1985). This circuit has also held that (1) failure to file
14
15
16

objections within the specified time and (2) failure to properly address and brief the objectionable issues
waives the right to appeal the District Court's order and/or appeal factual issues from the order of the

17

District Court. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153, 1157 (9th Cir. 1991); Britt v. Simi Valley United Sch.

18

Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983). Pursuant to LR IA 3-1, plaintiffs must immediately file written

19

notification with the court of any change of address. The notification must include proof of service upon

20

each opposing party’s attorney, or upon the opposing party if the party is unrepresented by counsel.

21

Failure to comply with this rule may result in dismissal of the action.

DATED this 6th day of May 2020.
