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

21

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.
On April 19, 2017, this court adopted the assigned magistrate judge’s findings and

22

recommendations recommending that plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis be denied

24

under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) and that plaintiff be required to pay the $400.00 filing fee in full to

25

proceed with this action. (Doc. Nos. 9–10.) At that time, plaintiff was ordered to pay the $400 in

26

full within thirty days and warned that his failure to pay the required filing fee would result in

27

dismissal of this action. (Doc. No. 10.)
