Plaintiff Christopher Higa brings this civil-rights action to redress constitutional

10

violations that he claims to have suffered while incarcerated at Northern Nevada

11

Correctional Center (“NNCC”). (ECF No. 1-1). He has applied to proceed in forma

12

pauperis for an inmate housed at NNCC. (ECF Nos. 1, 4). According to the Nevada

13

Department of Corrections inmate database, Plaintiff is no longer incarcerated. But

14

Plaintiff has not filed an updated address with this Court. And his application to proceed

15

in forma pauperis for prisoners is moot because he is no longer incarcerated.

16

Plaintiff is advised that a “pro se party must immediately file with the court written

17

notification of any change of mailing address, email address, telephone number, or

18

facsimile number.” Nev. LR IA 3-1. “The notification must include proof of service on each

19

opposing party or the party’s attorney.” Id. And “[f]ailure to comply with this rule may result

20

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

21

appropriate by the court.” Id.

address with the Court.
It is further ordered that Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis for
prisoners (ECF Nos. 1, 4) is denied as moot.

26

It is further ordered that Plaintiff has until October 24, 2024, to either (1) file a fully

27

complete application to proceed in forma pauperis for non-prisoners or (2) pay the full

28

filing fee of $405.

It is further ordered that if Plaintiff fails to timely comply with this order, this case
will be subject to dismissal without prejudice.

It is further ordered that the Clerk of the Court will send Plaintiff the approved form
