Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER DISMISSING THE ACTION
NASTRAN HASHEMI, M.D.,
(Doc. No. 10)
Defendant.
16
17
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action brought pursuant to
18
42 U.S.C. § 1983. On January 5, 2017, the undersigned adopted the assigned magistrate judge’s
19
findings and recommendations recommending that plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma
20
pauperis be denied and that plaintiff be directed to pay the required $400 filing fee in connection
21
with this action within fourteen days of the service of that order. (Doc. No. 10.) Plaintiff was
22
also informed in the order that his failure to pay the filing fee or otherwise respond to the order
23
will result in a dismissal of this action. (Id.)
24
That fourteen-day period has long since passed, and plaintiff has failed to pay the required
25
$400 filing fee. Instead, on April 26, 2017 and again on July 20, 2017, plaintiff filed notices with
26
the court representing that he is indigent and unable to pay the filing fee in connection with this
27
action. (Doc. Nos. 11 and 12.) However, as noted, this court previously denied plaintiff’s
28
application to proceed in forma pauperis based upon the determination that plaintiff had incurred
1
1
three or more dismissals of actions he had filed which qualified as strikes under 28 U.S.C. §
2
1915(g) and that plaintiff had failed to make any specific, credible allegations in support of the
3
application of the imminent danger exception under that provision. (Doc. Nos. 8 and 10.)
4
Nothing in the notices subsequently filed by plaintiff call into question the court’s prior order.
5
For the reasons set forth above:
6
1.
7

10
This action is dismissed due to plaintiff’s failure to submit the necessary filing
fees; and
2.
The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
