Gregory C. Bontemps is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action
18
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 April 25, 2018, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations,
21
22
recommending that plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis be denied. (Doc. No. 20.) On
23
October 23, 2018, the undersigned adopted those findings and recommendations in full. (Doc.
24
No. 21.) Accordingly, plaintiff was ordered to pay the $400 filing fee in full within thirty days of
25
the date of service of that order and was warned that his failure to do so would result in dismissal
26
of this action. (Id. at 2.) Far more than thirty days have passed following the issuance of that
27
order, and plaintiff has failed to pay the required $400 filing fee.
