DWAYNE ANDERSON,

12

Plaintiff,

No. 2:19-cv-1667-EFB P

v.

ORDER AND FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS

UNKNOWN,

15

Defendant.

16
Plaintiff is a Tennessee state prisoner proceeding without counsel in this civil action. On

17
18

August 30, 2019, this court found that plaintiff had failed to pay the $400 filing fee required by

19

28 U.S.C. § 1914(a) or request leave to proceed in forma pauperis and submit the affidavit and

20

trust account statement required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Accordingly, the court directed the

21

Clerk to send plaintiff an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, ordered plaintiff to submit

22

the filing fee or completed application within thirty days and warned plaintiff that failure to do so

23

may result in this action being dismissed. ECF No. 3. The time for acting has passed and

24

plaintiff has not paid the required filing fee or submitted the completed application for leave to

25

proceed in forma pauperis. Instead, he has filed a “Notice of Incorrect Filing and Notice of

26

Objections” stating that he objects to being forced to do either. ECF No. 4. Unfortunately, this

27

action cannot proceed unless plaintiff pays the fee or seeks leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

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

5

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

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

7

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

“Objections to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Any response to the

9

objections shall be served and filed within fourteen days after service of the objections. The

10

parties are advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to

11

appeal the District Court’s order. Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998); Martinez
