No. 2:16-cv-0347 KJM KJN

Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER

PAUL GONZALEZ, et al.,
Defendants.

15
16

Plaintiff, a state prisoner, filed this civil rights action without counsel in February

17

2016. Because plaintiff has filed several frivolous requests and rebuffed multiple requests to pay

18

filing fees, this court revoked his in forma pauperis status on March 14, 2018, and ordered him to pay

19

a $400.00 filing fee within thirty days. Order, ECF No. 61, at 3. Plaintiff requested to extend this

20

deadline another thirty days. ECF No. 62. The court granted his request and pushed the deadline to

21

April 2, 2018, but warned that absent good cause,“[f]ailure to comply with this order will result in

22

dismissal of this action.” ECF No. 63.

23

The April 2, 2018 deadline lapsed over a month ago, yet plaintiff has neither paid

24

the $400.00 filing fee nor shown any good cause for not doing so. The court therefore

25

DISMISSES this action in full. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.

27

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: May 4, 2018.
