KYLE DENNIS MOGAN,

Plaintiff,

11

v.

12

No. 2:17-cv-2658-MCE-EFB P

SCOTTY, et al.,

13

ORDER

Defendants.

14
15

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

16

U.S.C. § 1983. On March 21, 2018, the court issued findings and recommendations, which

17

recommended dismissal of this action after plaintiff failed to either pay the filing fee or submit an

18

application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. ECF No. 9.

19

Plaintiff has since filed numerous letters. ECF Nos. 10-17. Although not entirely clear,

20

plaintiff seems to complain that mail delays and/or corruption have hindered his ability to pay the

21

filing fee. In an abundance of caution, the court will grant plaintiff a 30-day extension of time to

22

either pay the filing fee or seek leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

23

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff has 30 days from the date of this

24

order to pay the filing fee or seek leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Should plaintiff fail to so

25

comply, the findings and recommendations will be submitted to the district judge for

26

consideration. The court is not inclined to grant additional requests for extensions of time.

DATED: June 13, 2018.
