EDMUND G. BROWN, et al.,

15

Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42

18

U.S.C. § 1983.1 On February 6, 2014, the court ordered plaintiff to, within 30 days, either pay the

19

filing fee or submit a proper application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The court also

20

warned plaintiff that failure to comply with the order would result in a recommendation of

21

dismissal. The time for acting has passed and plaintiff has not paid the filing fee, filed an

22

application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, or otherwise responded to the court’s order.
Accordingly, it hereby is ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court randomly assign a United

23
24

States District Judge to this action.
