Plaintiff,

GOMEZ, et al.,

ORDER

Defendants.

17

Plaintiff is a state prisoner, proceeding without counsel, with a civil rights action pursuant

18

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On December 21, 2021, the Honorable John A. Mendez revoked plaintiff’s

19

in forma pauperis status and ordered plaintiff to pay the $402.00 filing fee within thirty days of

20

the date of the order. (ECF No. 58.)
On January 5, 2022, plaintiff filed a letter with the court acknowledging the December 21,

21
22

2021 order directing him to pay the filing fee. (ECF No. 60.) In this letter, plaintiff asks if there

23

is a deadline for him to pay the filing fee. (Id.)
The December 21, 2021 order granted plaintiff thirty days to pay the filing fee. Based on

24
25

plaintiff’s confusion regarding this deadline, plaintiff is granted thirty days from the date of this

26

order to pay the filing fee. If plaintiff does not pay the filing fee within that time, the undersigned

27

will recommend dismissal of this action.
