ORDER

v.
Case No. 23-cv-262-wmc
NVIDIA CORPORATION,
Defendant.

Plaintiff Travis Duane Huss has filed a proposed civil complaint. Plaintiff asks for
leave to proceed without prepayment of fees or costs. However, I cannot determine whether
plaintiff qualifies for indigent status. To make this determination, plaintiff must submit a
financial affidavit, which I am enclosing with this order.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff may have until May 18, 2023, in which to submit an
affidavit of indigency and return it to the court. If plaintiff fails to provide this requested
information in a timely fashion, then the court will deny plaintiff’s request for leave to
proceed without prepayment of fees or costs for failure to show that plaintiff is indigent.
Entered this 27th day of April, 2023.
