ORDER
14
This action is a pro se civil rights complaint filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 by a state
15
prisoner. Plaintiff has submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 1).
16
Based on the financial information provided, the Court finds that Plaintiff is unable to prepay
17
the full filing fee in this matter.
18
The Court entered a screening order on February 18, 2014. (ECF No. 3). The
19
screening order imposed a 90-day stay and the Court entered a subsequent order in which the
20
parties were encouraged to engage in informal settlement discussions. (ECF No. 3, 5). The
21
Office of the Attorney General has filed a status report indicating that the parties have not
22
engaged in settlement discussions as of this date and have not reached a settlement. (ECF
23
No. 12 at 3). The Office of the Attorney General has informed the Court of its intent to
24
proceed with this action. (Id.).

Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) is GRANTED.

Plaintiff shall not be required to pay an initial installment of the filing fee. In the event that this
28
action is dismissed, the full filing fee must still be paid pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2).
2.
The movant herein is permitted to maintain this action to conclusion without the
1
necessity of prepayment of any additional fees or costs or the giving of security therefor. This
2
order granting leave to proceed in forma pauperis shall not extend to the issuance of
3
subpoenas at government expense.
4
3.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(2), the Nevada Department of Corrections shall
5
pay to the Clerk of the United States District Court, District of Nevada, 20% of the preceding
6
month’s deposits to Plaintiff’s account (Vincent Pinder, #71896), in the months that the
7
account exceeds $10.00, until the full $350.00 filing fee has been paid for this action. The
8
Clerk of the Court shall SEND a copy of this order to the Finance Division of the Clerk’s Office.
9
The Clerk of the Court shall also SEND a copy of this order to the attention of the Chief of
10

Subject to the findings of the screening order (ECF No. 3), within twenty-one

18
service; (b) the names of the defendants for whom it does not accept service, and (c) the
19

21
the Office shall file, under seal, the last known address(es) of those defendant(s) for whom
22
it has such information.

If service cannot be accepted for any of the named defendant(s), Plaintiff shall
24
file a motion identifying the unserved defendant(s), requesting issuance of a summons, and
25
specifying a full name and address for the defendant(s). For the defendant(s) as to which the
26
Attorney General has not provided last-known-address information, Plaintiff shall provide the
27
full name and address for the defendant(s).
28
7.
If the Attorney General accepts service of process for any named defendant(s),
