Sydney Ellerbe dba Sydney’s Wall Street
World, Inc.,
Plaintiff,

Case No. 2:24-cv-00555-JAD-DJA
Order

v.
Becca’s Restaurant & Sports Lounge dba
Scotty’s Restaurant & Lounge,
Defendant.
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s filing of documents on March 20, 2024.
Since that date, Plaintiff has failed to pay the filing fee or submit an application/motion to
proceed in forma pauperis. Although Plaintiff initiated this action by filing a complaint, Plaintiff
must apply to proceed in forma pauperis in order to proceed with this civil action without
prepaying the full $405 filing fee. The Court will grant Plaintiff one opportunity to file such an
application within 30 days. Alternatively, Plaintiff may choose not to file an application to
proceed in forma pauperis and instead pay the full filing fee of $405 on or before April 25, 2024
to proceed with this case.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is kindly directed to send
Plaintiff the approved form application to proceed in forma pauperis, as well as the document
entitled information and instructions for filing an in forma pauperis application.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that on or before April 25, 2024, Plaintiff will either pay
the full $405 filing fee for a civil action (which includes the $350 filing fee and the $55
administrative fee) or file with the Court a completed Application to Proceed in Forma
Pauperis on this Court’s approved form.
