Case No. 2:17-cv-02612-MMD-CWH

Plaintiff,
ORDER
v.
LAS VEGAS METROPOLITAN POLICE
OFFICER J. SOLES, et al.,
Defendants.

13

Presently before the court are pro se plaintiff George A. Toliver’s motions requesting a

14

decision on his application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF Nos. 6, 7), filed on November 22,

15

2017, and June 22, 2018, respectively. Mr. Toliver’s application to proceed in forma pauperis

16

(ECF No. 5) was filed on November 21, 2017.

17

The court addresses all applications to proceed in forma pauperis in the order they are

18

filed. While the court strives to resolve all matters as expeditiously as possible, given the court’s

19

current caseload, as well as the fact that all criminal matters must be addressed before all civil

20

matters as liberty interests are at stake, the screening process for in forma pauperis applications is

21

lengthy. The court will address Mr. Toliver’s application to proceed in forma pauperis in due

22

course. Mr. Toliver’s motions requesting a decision are denied without prejudice.

23

IT IS SO ORDERED.
