Case No. 2:24-cv-00849-RFB-DJA
Plaintiff,

v.

Order
United States of America,
9
Defendant.
10
This matter is before the Court on pro se Plaintiff Eric Christian’s application to proceed
11
12
in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 (ECF No. 1) and Complaint (ECF No. 1-1).
13
Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis is not on the Court’s approved form. Under
14
Nevada Local Special Rule (LSR) 1-1, applications to proceed in forma pauperis “must be made
15
on the form provided by the court.” 1 The Court will therefore deny the application to proceed in
16
forma pauperis without prejudice for Plaintiff to re-file a complete application on the correct
17
form or to pay the filing fee.
18
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma
19
20
pauperis (ECF No. 1) is denied without prejudice.
21
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is kindly directed to send Plaintiff
22
a copy of this order and the form application to proceed in forma pauperis and its accompanying
23
instruction packet.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff shall have until June 6, 2024 to either:
24
25
(1) file a complete application to proceed in forma pauperis in compliance with 28 U.S.C.
26
27
28
LSR 1-1 refers to the Court’s local rule on applications to proceed in forma pauperis. The
Court’s local rules may be accessed on the Court’s website, https://www.nvd.uscourts.gov/courtinformation/forms/
1
1
§ 1915(a)(1) and LSR 1-1; or (2) pay the full $405 filing fee, which includes the $350 filing fee
2
plus the $55 administrative fee. Plaintiff is advised that failure to comply with this order will
3
result in a recommendation to the district judge that the case be dismissed.
