ORDER
CHURCHILL COUNTY, et al.
Defendants.

14

16

Plaintiff has filed a motion (#8) to stop further collection of the filing fee by the state corrections
department in this closed prisoner civil rights action.

17

The Court will grant the motion as the record reflects that plaintiff has paid the full filing fee.

18

However, the Court notes that plaintiff applied for pauper status, and the Court granted the pauper

19

application on May 28, 2014. Thereafter, on June 9, 2014, the full filing fee was paid by what plaintiff

20

represents to be a third party. The action of separately paying the filing fee shortly after an order on the

21

pauper application had been sent to the state corrections department created the situation presented.

22
23

IT THEREFORE IS ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion (#8) to stop further collection of the
filing fee is GRANTED to the extent consistent with the remaining provisions of this order.

24

IT FURTHER IS ORDERED that the Nevada Department of Corrections shall cease making

25

payments to the Clerk for the filing fee in this action. The Clerk shall SEND a copy of this order to the

26

Finance Division of the Clerk’s office. The Clerk shall also SEND a copy of this order addressed

27

to the Chief of Inmate Services for the Nevada Department of Corrections, P.O. Box 7011, Carson

28

City, NV 89702.

Plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration from the order and judgment of dismissal remains before
the Court and will be reached as promptly as the Court’s prison litigation docket permits.
DATED: June 24, 2014.
