ORDER DISMISSING ACTION FOR
PLAINTIFF’S FAILURE TO PAY FILING
FEE
Defendant.

(Doc. No. 45)

16
17

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action pursuant to 42

18

U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28

19

U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

20

On July 16, 2019, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations

21

recommending that plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status be revoked and that he be required to pay

22

the filing fee in full to proceed with this action. (Doc. No. 39.) On December 5, 2020 the

23

undersigned adopted those findings and recommendations, revoked plaintiff’s in forma pauperis

24

status, and ordered plaintiff to pay the $400 filing fee in full within twenty-one (21) days. (Doc.

25

No. 45.) Plaintiff was cautioned that his failure to comply with that order and pay the required

26

filing fee within the specified time would result in dismissal of this action. (Id. at 3.)

27
28

Plaintiff has not paid the required filing fee or requested an extension of time to do so, and
the deadline to pay the required filing fee has now passed.
