On October 30, 2009, the undersigned filed findings and recommendations recommending dismissal of this action for plaintiff's failure to complete an in forma pauperis application, pursuant to an order filed on August 10, 2009, or to pay the appropriate filing fee. In timely objections, plaintiff asks for another opportunity to file an in forma pauperis affidavit due to the insufficiency of the law library (which does not appear to be an apposite reason for a delayed affidavit regarding his inmate trust account) but also because of his recent transfer, which apparently caused a delay in his filing. The court will vacate the findings and recommendations and grant petitioner one final opportunity either to make the requisite showing for in forma pauperis status or to pay the filing fee. \\\\\ 1 ORDER IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA DONALD L.
