ORDER DISMISSING ACTION DUE TO
PLAINTIFF’S FAILURE TO PAY FILING
FEE
(Doc. No. 5)

17

Plaintiff Brandon Alexander Favor is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights

18

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

19

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

20

On November 9, 2021, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and

21

recommendations recommending that plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis under

22

28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) be denied because plaintiff had suffered three or more prior strike dismissals

23

and that he be ordered to pay the required $402.00 filing fee in order to proceed with this action.

24

(Doc. No. 3.) On December 7, 2021, the undersigned adopted those findings and

25

recommendations, denied plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis, and ordered plaintiff to

26

pay the $402 filing fee in full within twenty-one (21) days. (Doc. No. 5.) Plaintiff was cautioned

27

that his failure to comply with that order and pay the required filing fee within the specified time

28

would result in dismissal of this action. (Id. at 2.)
