On February 10, 2021, Plaintiff Michael Lerma, a state prisoner temporarily

18

housed at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga, California

19

(“WVDC”) while awaiting trial on federal charges, filed a civil rights complaint against

20

WVDC officers pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Dkt. No. 1). Simultaneously with the

21

Complaint, Plaintiff filed a Request to Proceed Without Prepayment of Filing Fees. (“IFP

22

Request,” Dkt. No. 2). On February 23, 2001, the Court denied Plaintiff’s IFP Request

23

for failure to make an adequate showing of indigency. (“Order,” Dkt. No. 4). Plaintiff

24

was ordered to pay the full filing fee within thirty days or his case would be summarily

25

dismissed. (Id. at 1).

The deadline for paying the full filing fee has expired and Plaintiff has neither paid
the full filing fee nor requested an extension of time in which to do so. Accordingly, it is

hereby ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED without prejudice. The Deputy Clerk

shall terminate the case without delay.
