Plaintiff Danny Cohea is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action

19

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge

20

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
On September 16, 2016, Magistrate Judge Erica P. Grosjean entered findings and

21
22

recommendations, recommending that plaintiff’s applications to proceed in forma pauperis be

23

denied and that plaintiff be required to pay the $400 filing fee in full to proceed with this action.

24

(Doc. No. 8.) On November 23, 2016, the court entered an order adopting the findings and

25

recommendations in full. (Doc. No. 10.) The order denied plaintiff’s motions to proceed in

26

forma pauperis, and gave plaintiff thirty days to pay the required $400 filing fee. (Id.) The order

27

further specifically warned plaintiff that “[f]ailure to comply with this order shall result in the

28

/////

dismissal of this action.” (Id.). The thirty day period has expired, and plaintiff has failed to pay

2

the $400 filing fee.

3

Accordingly, this action is hereby dismissed and the Clerk of the Court is directed to close

4

this case.

5

IT IS SO ORDERED.
