I.

DISCUSSION

17

This action is a pro se civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 by an

18

individual who formerly was in the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections.

19

Plaintiff previously submitted applications to proceed in forma pauperis for prisoners.

20

(ECF Nos. 4, 6). The Court now directs Plaintiff to file an application to proceed in forma

21

pauperis by a non-prisoner within thirty (30) days from the date of this order or pay the

22

full filing fee of $400. This action will not proceed unless and until this matter is resolved.

23

The Court cautions Plaintiff that filing an application to proceed in forma pauperis for non-

24

prisoners in a different case will not be sufficient to comply with this order.

25

II.
