ORDER

S. JOCHIM, et al.,

14

Defendants.

15
16

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed this civil rights action seeking relief

17

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

18

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

19

On February 1, 2019, the Court denied plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis

20

because plaintiff is a three-strikes litigant within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) and granted

21

plaintiff fourteen days within which to pay the $400 filing fee for this action. ECF No. 16.

22

Plaintiff was warned that failure to pay the filing fee within fourteen days would result in

23

dismissal of this action. Id. Plaintiff has not paid the filing fee or otherwise responded to the

24

Court’s order.

26

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is dismissed.
