Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
DR. PIE, et al.,
Defendants.
16
17
Plaintiff consented to proceed before the undersigned for all purposes. See 28 U.S.C.
18
§ 636(c). By order filed May 5, 2014, plaintiff was ordered to pay the $400.00 filing fee within
19
thirty days, and was cautioned that failure to do so would result in the dismissal of this action.
20
The thirty day period has now expired, and plaintiff has not paid the filing fee. On May 16, 2014,
21
plaintiff wrote the Clerk of Court, stating he had enclosed an exhibit verifying he had paid his
22
filing fee (“trust account office statement 4-7-2014, filing fee balance $51.20, paid”). However,
23
there was no enclosure contained in such filing, and to date, this court has not received any
24
money toward the $400.00 filing fee. Moreover, in the May 5, 2014 order, plaintiff was informed
25
that the Northern District of California, where plaintiff first filed the instant complaint, confirmed
26
that the Northern District did not receive payment. (ECF No. 13 at 1.) In an abundance of
27
caution, plaintiff is ordered to show cause why this action should not be dismissed based on
28
plaintiff’s failure to pay the $400.00 filing fee.

1
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff show cause, within twenty-one
2
days, why this action should not be dismissed without prejudice. Failure to respond to this order
3
to show cause, and failure to pay the $400.00 filing fee, will result in the dismissal of this action.
