DISCUSSION

10

According to the Nevada Department of Corrections (“NDOC”) inmate database,

11

Plaintiff is no longer incarcerated. However, Plaintiff has not filed an updated address

12

with this Court. The Court notes that pursuant to Nevada Local Rule of Practice IA 3-1,

13

a “pro se party must immediately file with the court written notification of any change of

14

mailing address, email address, telephone number, or facsimile number. The notification

15

must include proof of service on each opposing party or the party’s attorney. Failure to

16

comply with this rule may result in the dismissal of the action, entry of default judgment,

17

or other sanctions as deemed appropriate by the court.” Nev. Loc. R. IA 3-1. This Court

18

grants Plaintiff thirty (30) days from the date of entry of this order to file his updated

19

address with this Court. If Plaintiff does not update the Court with his current address

20

within thirty (30) days from the date of entry of this order, the Court will dismiss this action

21

without prejudice.

22

Additionally, the Court denies the application to proceed in forma pauperis for

23

prisoners (ECF No. 1) as moot because Plaintiff is no longer incarcerated. The Court

24

now directs Plaintiff to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis by a non-prisoner

25

within thirty (30) days from the date of this order or pay the full filing fee of $400.
