JOHN LAMAR JENKINS,

12

Plaintiff,

14

v.

No. 2:17-cv-0878-TLN-KJN (PS)

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

JP MORGAN CHASE BANK,

15

Defendant.

16
17

Plaintiff, who proceeds pro se, filed this action and requested leave to proceed in forma

18

pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (ECF Nos. 1, 2.) On August 29, 2017, the court denied

19

plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis and ordered plaintiff to “either (a) pay the

20

applicable filing fee or (b) file an amended application to proceed in forma pauperis that

21

adequately demonstrates that plaintiff is unable to pay the filing fee” within 28 days. (ECF No.

22

5.) Moreover, the court admonished plaintiff that “failure to either pay the filing fee or file a

23

sufficient application to proceed in forma pauperis by the above deadline will result in a

24

recommendation that the action be dismissed.” (Id.) Because plaintiff has failed to take any

25

action since the court’s order, it appears that he has chosen to abandon this action.

26

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that:

27

1.

The action be dismissed without prejudice.

28

2.

The Clerk of Court be directed to close this case.

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge

2

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days

3

after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written

4

objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be captioned

5

“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Failure to file objections

6

within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order. Martinez v.

7

Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).

IT IS SO RECOMMENDED
