Plaintiff will state at the outset that a considerable amount o f what follows is to be, hop efully, takenwith a grain of salt, and that the humor it hopefully contains is appreciated. It may be important tonote that Plaintiff felt obligated to file a substantially similar case and C omplaint to the one attachedto the instant In Forma Pauperis Motion in CV11-0195 5, wherein Plaintiff paid the 260 filing fee inorder to be assured to secure a stamp ed, dated filing date for the Comp laint and causes of actionrelated to the Right To Sue Letter Plaintiff received from the E EOC , being mindful of the 90 daystatute of limitations inherent in such actions. Plaintiff asks the Court that his In Forma Pauperisapplication, if granted, be applied in such a way as to result in Plaintiff being refunded the 260 filingfee Plaintiff paid in CV11-01955, and consider the Complaint Plaintiff submitted in CV11-01955 tobe Plaintiff s original Complaint in the case going forward. Plaintiff believes that the balance of theequities dictates this be done in consideration of som e of the obstacles presented by the S econdJudicial District Court's filing office and law library, being mindful of the difficult task both thoseentities face daily.
Plaintiff recalls in his time as a legal aid attorney at Washo e Legal Services that a standard of200% the federal poverty level was allegedly the cut-off for income levels of those eligible forservices from WL S, though Plaintiff cannot recall a single incident where any one was denied servicesbased upon making too much money. Individuals so accepted as clients at WLS never had to pay afiling fee given a Statement of Leg al Aid Rep resentation was autom atically filed on their behalf,thereby waiving the filing fees in their cases. Nonetheless, Plaintiff assures this Court that he hasmade well less than 200% the federal poverty guidelines in the last year, that he has less than 500 inhis bank account, that he currently has no source of income (though he is looking as assiduously asyou m ight expect an individual so situated to), and that he has no items of property for which he hasbeen able to sell and convert into monies sufficient to pay both the filing fees of the D istrict Court,

Plaintiff expressed disapproval to the filing clerk regarding h er refusal to accept his filings, or evenmark them as received. Subsequent attempts were made to efile and In Forma Pauperis application,and N EFR rules dictate that the filing office or electronic filings operators make filing an IN Fo rmaPauperis application possible. However, Plaintiff was repeatedly told by filing office clerks,manag ers, and adm inistrators that one cannot electronically file an In Forma Pauperis application inthe Second Judicial.
It seems wh enever the courts make an improvem ent, it's for them and not the public... thesolution is to improve the system based on what the public needs, not to suit court employees.,,,
It is the bureaucratic arrogance of not even attempting to satisfy the duty to the pu blic (and the Bar),while remaining ob sessed with internal budgets and making things easier for those running thesystem, that is so maddening... Nevada attorney Marshall Willick is so quoted in a recent Las VegasNew s and Review article.
Plaintiff submits the following collection of p recedent and argum ent, which, regrettably, isnot as streamlined, nor blueboo ked as he might like it to be, but which, Plaintiff, believes, is a ratherstrong colllection of authority related to the issues arising in this IFP and bey ond.

touchy subjects and m erely, respectfully, ask this court to embo dy that wo nderful symbol of justice,wherein a blindfold covers the eyes o f she who is in the position to judge. In the instant case, defensecounsel is working feverishly, if not quite in the spirit of the legal aid entity which is represents, toget Plaintiff's case thrown ou t and d eny Plaintiff a day in court, seeking to assert that the statute oflimitations has run on Plaintiff's claim considering the 90 days from receipt of the EEOC's Right ToSue Letter. Indeed, there is some authority that the filing date, or at least running of the statute oflimitations, is tolled upon the filing of a In Forma P auperis petition by a Title VII claimant. (and h ere,the authority seems to suggest even the attempted filing , even where a saturnine filing office clerksumm oned an arm ed Sheriff's Deputy to shut Plaintiff up instead of doing her job and acceptingPlaintiff's subm ission for, if not filing, as least a marking of the attemp ted filing as received , shouldtoll the 90 day limitations period for filing from receipt of the EEOC 's Right to Sue Letter). So, goshdarnit, we have a Plaintiff who goes to C ourt and argues zealously on behalf of a purported domesticviolence victim (one who m akes more m oney than Plaintiff and had nary a second glance cast at herfee waiver or Statement of Legal Aid and Representation , even where viewed in conjunction withher Financial Declaration), and Plaintiff gets sanctioned (and of course, ultimately summ arily fired ina humiliating witch trial type of way) around $1 ,000 by a Fam ily Court Judge for, other than being
sarcastic and his tone having issues , arguing what actually, turns out, is the majority viewpointon an issue within the collective Am erican jurisprudence on the issue (and Plaintiff mentioned anALR was on point in this regard to the Family C ourt Judge during the d ivorce trial, no less). So, afterbeing fired, Plaintiff seeks redress with the E EOC , where allegedly, the Investigator on his case has avideo under his own name on youtube.com wherein the investigator can be seen masturbating,ejaculating on a wall, urinating, and bleeding. Plaintiff expresses reluctance to w ork further with theinvestigator, whereupon several upper level EEOC adminstrators inform Plaintiff that they just do not

see what the big deal is and that they really have not looked into the issues Plaintiff is complainingthat much and, really, do not intend to anyways. So, then Plaintiff updates the EEOC with his
contact information and mailing address in a direct written response to a direct written questionasking for such information, how ever, the EEOC mails the Right To Su e Letter to Plaintiff's old,outdate address. Then the EEOC makes several curious and strange statements about why it remaileda letter to Plaintiff's newer address a week later, after becom ing aware that Plaintiff had a neweraddress, despite the fact that the EEOC is apparently asserting that it never received the o riginalmailing as returned to sender and marked with Plaintiff's new address, even though, as the 12
mon th expiration of Plaintiff's original Change of Ad dress on file with the U nited States PostalService had just passed when the original March 22, 2011 RT S letter was m ailed, in accordance withUSPS policy, all mailings addressed to a person, like Plaintiff's, older address are to be returned tosender with a sticker placed thereon wherein the sender is notified in writing of the receipients neweraddress. To clarify, one may file a Change of Address with the USPS, as Plaintiff did here, in the lastweek of February 20 10. The USP S will then forward all mail to such a person for a period of 12months at that person s newer address. At the expiration of 12 months, mail addressed to a receipientbearing and outdated address will no longer be forwarded to the new address, but rather returned tosender with a sticker placed on the mailing indicating the recipient has moved and spelling out therecipient s new address. Somehow, the Director of the EEOC is now apparently claiming that hedidn't getsuch an envelope returned to him, but that he did becom ing aware (but not apparently through any
returned mail and corresponding docum entation placed therein alerting the sender of Plaintiff's newaddress, for a second time) that Plaintiff's address had changed, about 5 days after the originalmailing of Plaintiff's Right To Su e Letter, whereupon the SF EEO C D irector then, mailed Plaintiff

Finally the Supervisor, Ms. Wise, informed Plaintiff, a memberof the Bar, that she trusted her clerk's conclusion and did not feel it necessary to crack even onepaper out of Plaintiff's stack herself or look into the situation any further. Then, both Ms. Wise andthis yet to be nam ed, and apparently, yet to be informed of decisional authority such as the Sullivanor W hitman cases, both informed Plaintiff that they wouldn't give Plaintiff any sort of docum entationmem orializing his attempts at filing and that they wouldn't keep anything he h ad to give them o rmark anything as received . Next, Plaintiff finally manages to get somebody to accept his IFP
Mo tion, whereupon the Chief Judge, in a departure from the rubber stamping Plaintiff was told wasso com mon, insists that Plaintiff file a Supplem ental Affidavit further detailing his lack of financesand und erscoring, in writing, and on the record, what a great success Plaintiff had becom e in lifefinancially, as having a licensed attorney sign a d ocument w ith full knowledge of R ule 11 attesting tohis deservedness of an In Forma Pauperis designation was not quite good en ough proof of such, eventhough P laintiff filled out the exact form the filing office provides to the public and insist they fill outin order to submit an In Forma Pauperis Motion, and this, after a clerk had refused to accept the m oredetailed IFP Plaintiff presented with du ring his initial attempt at filing, beating even the mo stdraconian and on erous interpretation of the 90 d ay statute of limitations period, and avoidingunecessarily litigating issues related to C hanges of Address, the EE OC's failure to update its contactinformation after Plaintiff had provided it in writing etc. So, not to humiliate Plaintiff or anything,but just to, you know, m ake sure that this IFP is justly granted, Plaintiff hereby attests, under penaltyof perjury that his rent has recently jumped from $450 to $900 due to his roommate of four yearsgraduating from college in May and deciding she needed a change (this after Plaintiff made untoldsacrifices to see that she completed the three years worth of college credits she needed to graduate,

standard for indigency is a fact-intensive inquiry.State v. V incent, 883 P.2d 278 , 283 (U tah 1994).The initial burden of establishing indigency rests with the petitioner, (Nikander v. Dist. Ct. in & forFirst. Jud. Dist., 711 P.2d 1260, 1262 (Colo.1986)) who must dem onstrate not that he is entirelydestitute and w ithout funds, but that payments for counsel wou ld place an undue h ardship on hisability to provide the basic necessities of life for himself and his family. (Vincent, 883 P .2d at 283;see also Nikander, 711 P.2d at 1262 ( In order to be deemed indigent, the defendant need not bedestitute; rather, it is sufficient that the defend ant lack the n ecessary funds, on a practical basis, toretain competent counsel. )....In the context of civil litigation, the general rule is that courts look to a
party's current financial status, including the [102 P.3d 47] party's income, p roperty, and otherresources, to determine that p arty's present ability or, m ore impo rtantly, inability to prosecute ordefend an action.15 W hen considering an indigency application, a trial judge m ust consider a party'scomp lete financial picture, balancing incom e and assets against debts and liabilities, taking intoaccount the cost of a party's basic needs and living expenses.16 Particularly relevant to this inquiryare (1) the party's employm ent status and income, including incom e from governm ent sources such associal security and unem ployment benefits,17 (2) the ownership of any unencum bered assets,including real or personal property and mon ies on deposit,18 and finally, (3) the party's totalindebtedness and any financial assistance received from family or close friends.19 Ad ditionally,when con fronted with a party who is willfully underemployed, especially for purposes of avoidingcourt ordered support pay ments, additional inquiry is required. In such a case, it is prudent for thecourt to consider the employability of the nonpaying party and what his or her ability to pay wou ld beif employm ent were pursued and obtained.20 W e note that while the determination of a party'sindigency status is generally w ithin the trial court's sound discretion and , therefore, entitled to greatdeference on review , it is also subject to careful scrutiny when it involves the protection of basic

A plaintiff should be allowed to p roceed in forma p auperis if he or she is truly unable topay costs and expenses, and the claims are not frivolous or malicious.[FN1] A determinationconcerning indigency m ust first be made, before dismissing a case as being frivolous.[FN2] It isusually required that a trial court then make a determination whether the case is frivolous.[FN3]W hile there is some authority that a trial court should dismiss an action that does not meet the criteriafor proceeding in forma pauperis, without permitting the service of process,[FN4] it has elsewherebeen held that the court may not summ arily refuse a forma paup eris filing merely because thecomp laint appears lacking in merit, but may only dismiss the case on the sam e basis as an action forwhich fees have been paid.[FN5] In accordan ce with certain statutes, dismissal of an action upondenial of the application to proceed in form a pauperis is im proper, but the plaintiff has a specifiedtime to proceed upon paym ent of fees and costs.[FN6] This effectively extends the time to pay thefees,[FN7] but if the plaintiff does not do so, the filing has no effect.[FN8] O ther statutes do notrequire that a court afford a plaintiff the opportunity to pay the requisite filing fee before dism issing

obtained copies of these contracts and pointed out to W CLL personnel the apparent fact that thecontracts stated the exact opposite of the positions asserted by WC LL personnel. W CLL personnelpersisted in angrily accusing and confronting Plaintiff and just generally treating Plaintiff and othermem bers of the public as though they were uninvited guests who had hap pened to walk into M s.Clive s private bedroom in her own home after the close of business hours, rather than into a pu bliclaw library funded, in one way or ano ther, by taxes and fees levied upon mem bers of the public inWashoe County. Ms. Clive however disputed the assertion that the public had anything to do withthe funds used to purchase a W estlaw subscription, pay h er salary, operate the library, though she did
not offer any insight into wh ere such monies m ay have m aterialized from o therwise.A thorough review of the docum ent which apparently memo rializes the agreement between
Washoe County and Westlaw yields some troubling inconsistencies with respect to the assertionsmade by the WCLL when viewed along with the Westlaw subscriber agreement. Plaintiff isparticularly troubled by this given the fact that he has been forced to pay the WC LL m oney for suchmaterials and spend many work hou rs converting into a useful form such m aterials in an amounts inexcess of 10,000. Recently retired law librarian Sandra Marz collected over 160,000 in salary andbenefits from Washoe County in her last year on the job. One might expect that with such highpriced talent the WCL L wou ld not purchase competing subscriptions from both Lexis and W estlawthat offer access to the s me d t b ses. For instance, WCLL apparently subscribes to a databasescontainign all Nevada cases from BOTH Westlaw and Lexis. While these entities may have riggedthings, similar to the cable company, w hereby one is forced to pay for a base subscription to a bunchof channels they w ill never watch before one can select individually som e special collection ofstations, it wou ld be b eneficial, if at all possible, for the WC LL to refrain from these duplicatedatabase subcriptions and instead include d atabases such as nv -forms, nv-pleadings, or nv-filings

leave to proceed without payment of fees]. Further, we have repeatedly instructed the clerk of theEighth Judicial District Court that such docum ents must be filed. See Bow man v. District Court, 102Nev. 474, 72 8 P.2d 433 (19 86) (clerk has a ministerial duty to accept and file documents if thosedocum ents are in proper form; clerk m ust not exercise any judicial discretion); Barnes v.District Court, 103 Nev. 679, 748 P.2d 483 (198 7) (prisoner's right of access to court cannot bedenied on basis of indigency); Huebner v. State, 107 Nev . 328, 810 P.2d 1209 (1991) (clerk m ustcreate an accurate record of all pleadings submitted for filing, whether or not the docum ents areactually filed); Whitman v. W hitman, 108 Nev . 949, 840 P.2d 1232 (1992) (clerk has no authority toreturn documen ts submitted for filing; instead, clerk mu st stamp docum ents that cannot beimm ediately filed received, and must maintain such docum ents in the record of the case); Dono hov. District Court, 108 Nev. 1027, 842 P.2d 731 (199 2) (the clerk of the district court has a duty to filedocuments and to keep an accurate record of the proceedings before the court); Grey v. Grey, 111Nev. 388, 89 2 P.2d 595 (19 95) (clerk of district court admon ished for failure to keep accurate recordof docum ents submitted for filing).Petitioner alleges that the district court has refused to file his application and has returned it withdirections to provide more information regarding em ployment. Indeed, petitioner has attached to hispetition for a writ in this court his original application as it w as returned to him . Attached to the topof the docum ent is a post-it note with the handwritten notation: application denied incompleteinfo-employm ent currently. 4 The state informs us that the note was written by the chief judge.In addition, petitioner alleges, and the allegation is apparently true, that along with his deniedapplication for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, his civil complaint was returned to him un filed.Finally, petitioner alleges, and has attached docum entation to support the allegation, that judges' lawclerks often return to prisoners unfiled motions along with letters purporting to rule on the legalsufficiency of those motions. 5The state argues in its answer to this petition that petitioner's application ... was denied on thebasis that the address of the Petitioner which w as later given to the Co urt by Petitioner ... did notappear to be a jail and that such information w as contrary to the information shown in the applicationwhich stated that the Petitioner was in prison. Th e 'out of jail' address suggested an ab ility of thePetitioner to be employed.This vague reference to an out of jail address is not explained in the docum ents before thiscourt. Nevertheless, the state's assertion that p etitioner's application was denied is incorrect. Thehandw ritten notation on petitioner's unfiled application clearly does not constitute a proper judicialdisposition of that application.Further, the action of the clerk of the district court in returning p etitioner's application and civilcomp laint to him unfiled is in direct violation of this court's instructions to the clerk of the districtcourt in Whitman v. Whitman , 108 Nev. 949, 840 P.2d 123 2 (1992). This court has several timesconfirmed the absolute obligation of the district courts to file documents submitted to them and topreserve the right of citizens to access to the courts, whether indigent or no t. Barnes v. District Court,103 Nev . 679, 748 P.2d 483 (1987); Hu ebner v. State, 107 Nev . 328, 810 P.2d 1209 (1991). Indeed,in Dono ho v. District Court, 108 Nev. 1027 , 842 P.2d 731 (1992), a case directly analogous to thiscase, we held that the clerk o f the district court violated the rights of an indigent party when sheneglected to file a motion for leave to proceed in form a pauperis and a m otionfor relief from a default judgment. Specifically, we stated: [T]he clerk [of the district court] had anabsolute duty to file the motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and to clearly stamp the dateof receipt of the other documents on the docum ents. Further, the clerk had a duty to k eep an accurate

record of the case pending before the district court. Id. at 1029, 842 P.2d at 733 (citation omitted;emphasis added).Thus, petitioner's application for leave to proceed in forma pau peris must be filed. If, onsubsequent review o f the application, the district court determines that petitioner has no t shown he isindigent, the district court may order petitioner to provide further information or may d eny theapplication in an app ropriately filed w ritten order. If, on the other han d, the district court grants theapplication, the district court m ust then proceed to require the filing of petitioner's other docum entsand to consider them in due course. Donoh o, 108 Nev. at 1030, 842 P.2d at 733. Of course, for statuteof limitations purposes, the com plaint would have to be considered filed on the date of actual receiptby the clerk of the d istrict court.To continue the analysis, with respect to petitioner's civil comp laint which he is attempting tofile concurrently, the district court clerk had an absolute obligation to stamp the docum ent receivedand to record the date on which the docum ent was in fact received at the courthouse. See Huebner v.State, 107 Nev. 328, 810 P.2d 1209 (19 91). This the clerk of the district court did. Howev er, the clerkthen had a duty to m aintain a copy of the received docum ent in the record of the case, whether or notthe documen t is ever filed. Whitman v. W hitman, 108 N ev. 949, 840 P.2d 1232 (1992 ). This, theclerk neglected to do.W hile Huebner dealt with the timeliness of a notice of appeal, the rationale compelling thiscourt's ruling in Huebn er, that all docum ents must be m arked received and dated, applies with equalforce to a party's submission of a complaint. The legal rights of the parties to litigation, whetheracting in proper person or through cou nsel, often turn on the date of receipt by the clerk of the d istrictcourt of documents and pleadings. Huebn er, 107 Nev. at 330, 810 P.2d at 1211. As with a notice ofappeal, the untimely filing of a complaint may prevent the court from hearing the m atter on its merits.It is the responsibility of the clerk of the district court to keep an accurate record of all docum entssubmitted to her, whether or not they are filed. As in H uebner, ambiguities regarding whendocum ents were received or filed must ultimately be resolved in favor of the party subm itting them .Id. at 332, 810 P.2d at 1212.
The issue presently before this court is not w hether petitioner's motion for leave to proceed informa p auperis is sufficient to establish petitioner's indigence. Further, we are not now concernedwith the m erits of petitioner's civil comp laint. We are vitally concerned, how ever, with thepreservation of the constitutional right of access to the cou rts and with the p rotection of theconstitutional right to due p rocess of law.A w rit of mandamu s is available to compel the performance of an act which the law requires asa duty resulting from an office, trust or station. NRS 34.160. The clerk of the district court has anabsolute duty to file petitioner's application and to properly receive and keep a record o f petitioner'scomp laint. Accordingly, we g rant this petition for a writ of mand amus. 6 T he clerk of this court shallserve a copy of petitioner's application and com plaint on the clerk of thedistrict court forthwith. The clerk of this court shall also issue a w rit of mandam us com pelling theclerk of the district court to file petitioner's application, and to receive petitioner's complaint. Thesedocum ents will be considered to have been filed and received on M ay 15, 1995.1 Petitioner also seeks a writ of p rohibition enjoining the district court, the clerk of the d istrict courtand her em ployees from den ying prisoners access to the courts in the future. We deny petitioner'srequest for a writ of prohibition.

to proceed on app eal in forma pauperis on the d ate of receipt, Decem ber 30, 1991, and that thedistrict court eventually granted that motion.W e have previously stated that it is extremely important that the clerk of the district court keepan accurate record of the date of receipt of every docum ent submitted to the clerk, regardless ofwhether the docum ent is in the appropriate form. Indeed, it is a gross dereliction of duty for the clerkof the district court to neglect this ministerial duty. Huebn er v. State, 107 Nev. 328, 330, 810 P.2d1209, 1211 (1991) (footnote om itted). In this case, the clerk of the district court has failed to keep anyrecord of the date o f receipt of appellant's notice of appeal; instead, the clerk stamped the docum entreceived and returned it to appellant. The clerk of the district court had no authority to take suchaction.Although the clerk of the district court had no d uty to file appellant's notice of appeal beforeappellant paid the requisite filing fee or w as relieved of the duty to pay the filing fee by order of thedistrict court, see NRS 19.013(2), the clerk had a d uty to receive the documen t and to keep anaccurate record of the case pending before the district court. Particularly in this case it w as essentialthat the notice of appeal be retained in the record, because we have held that a notice of appeal iseffective on the date of receipt by the district court clerk. See Hueb ner v. State, [108 Nev. 952] 107Nev. 328, 81 0 P.2d 1209 (1991). Rather than returning the notice of appeal to appellant, the clerk ofthe district court should have retained the notice of appeal in the record, and should have inform edappellant by letter of any perceived deficiencies in the docum ent. 4 Appellant could then have takenwhatever action was app ropriate to pursue his appeal.In light of the foregoing, w e conclude that app ellant timely subm itted to the clerk of the districtcourt a notice of app eal from an appealable order of the d istrict court, and that appellant's timelynotice of appeal is not con tained in the record due to the inappropriate action of the district courtclerk. Accordingly, we g rant appellant's petition for rehearing, and we proceed to address the m eritsof this appeal. Id. At 1232-1234. See also Barnes v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court of State of Nev.In and For Clark Cou nty, 748 P.2d 483, 103 Nev . 679 (Nev., 1987).
