DISCUSSION

On April 20, 2021, Plaintiff, an inmate in the custody of the Washoe County

11

Detention Facility, submitted a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and filed an

12

application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF Nos. 1-1, 1). With his initial filings,

13

Plaintiff also submitted a cover letter stating he has the full filing fee for his § 1983

14

complaint, however, the Washoe County Detention Facility is requesting the Clerk's Office

15

take the money off his books. (ECF No. 1-3). The payment of the Plaintiff's filing fee

16

must be sent directly to the Court. If Plaintiff seeks to pay the full $402 filing fee, he may

17

request that the Washoe County Detention Facility mail his payment directly to the Court

18

with a copy of this order. As such, the attached instructions are provided to the Plaintiff

19

to inform him of who to have the Washoe County Detention Facility make his check or

20

money order payable to and where to have the Washoe County Detention Facility send

21

his check or money order for this matter. Plaintiff is advised that, as of December 1, 2020,

22

the filing fee for a civil matter is now $402.
The Clerk of the Court will retain Plaintiff's complaint (ECF No. 1-1) but will not file

23
24

until receipt of Plaintiff's full $402 filing fee.
