I.

DISCUSSION

10

On October 27, 2020, the Court denied Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma

11

pauperis for prisoners as moot because Plaintiff was no longer incarcerated. (ECF No.

12

4). The Court directed Plaintiff to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis for non-

13

prisoners by November 30, 2020. (Id.)
On November 17, 2020, Plaintiff filed a motion for reconsideration and/or a motion

14
15

for extension of time.

(ECF No. 5).

In the motion, Plaintiff states that he is now

16

incarcerated at the Washoe County Jail and seeks an extension of time to get another

17

application to proceed in forma pauperis from the jail. (Id.)

18

The Court grants the motion for reconsideration. Because Plaintiff is incarcerated

19

again, the Court will accept Plaintiff’s original application to proceed in forma pauperis for

20

prisoners (ECF No. 1). The Court will reinstate the original application as an active,

21

pending motion.

22

II.

For the foregoing reasons, it is ordered that the motion for reconsideration (ECF

23
24

CONCLUSION

No. 5) is granted.
It is further ordered that the Clerk of the Court reinstate the application to proceed

25
26

in forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) as an active, pending motion.
