Plaintiff, who is a prisoner in the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections
17
(“NDOC”), has submitted a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF No.
18
1-1). Plaintiff has neither paid the full filing fee for this matter nor filed an application to
19
proceed in forma pauperis.
20
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2) and Local Rule LSR 1-2, Plaintiff must
21
complete an application to proceed in forma pauperis and attach both an inmate account
22
statement for the past six months and a properly executed financial certificate. The Court
23
will retain Plaintiff’s civil rights complaint (ECF No. 1-1), but will not file it until the matter
24
of the payment of the filing fee is resolved. Plaintiff will be granted an opportunity to file
25
an application to proceed in forma pauperis, or in the alternative, pay the full filing fee for
26
this action. If Plaintiff chooses to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis she
27
must file a fully complete application to proceed in forma pauperis.
