ORDER

v.
STATE OF NEVADA, et al.,

Defendants

According to the Nevada Department of Corrections inmate database, Plaintiff is

10

no longer incarcerated. But Plaintiff has not filed his updated address with the Court. And

11

Plaintiff’s mail has been returned as undeliverable, noting that he was paroled in October

12

2023. (ECF No. 4). Nevada Local Rule of Practice IA 3-1 provides that a “pro se party

13

must immediately file with the court written notification of any change of mailing address,

14

email address, telephone number, or facsimile number.” “Failure to comply with this rule

15

may result in the dismissal of the action, entry of default judgment, or other sanctions as

16

deemed appropriate by the court.” Nev. L.R. IA 3-1.

17
18

It is therefore ordered that Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis for
inmate (ECF No. 1) is denied as moot because he is no longer incarcerated.

19

It is further ordered that on or before March 8, 2024, Plaintiff must either pay the

20

full $402 filing fee for this action or file a completed application to proceed in forma

21

pauperis for non-inmates.

22
23

It is further ordered that on or before March 8, 2024, Plaintiff must file his updated
address with the Court.

24

Plaintiff is cautioned that this action will be subject to dismissal without prejudice if

25

he fails to timely comply with this order. Dismissal without prejudice allows Plaintiff to

26

refile his case with the Court, under a new case number, when he can provide his updated

27

address and either pay the required filing fee or apply for in forma pauperis status for non-

28

inmates.

1

It is further ordered that the Clerk of the Court will send Plaintiff Ronald Silva the

2

approved form application to proceed in forma pauperis for non-inmates and the

3

document titled information and instructions for filing an in forma pauperis application.
