Case No. 2:16-cv-02489-APG-CWH
REPORT & RECOMMENDATION
On October 24, 2016, pro se Plaintiff Jeff H. Williamson submitted a motion to proceed in
10
11
forma pauperis (ECF No. 1) and a complaint (ECF No. 1-1). On September 7, 2017, this Court
12
denied Plaintiff’s motion without prejudice (ECF No. 4), and gave Plaintiff a deadline of thirty days
13
to either pay the filing fee or file a renewed application to proceed in forma pauperis.
14
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a), a filing fee of $350.00 is required to commence a civil
15
action in federal district court. The court may authorize the commencement of an action “without
16
prepayment of fees and costs or security therefor, by a person who submits an affidavit that includes
17
a statement of all assets” and that he is “unable to pay such fees or give security therefore.”
18
28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Plaintiff was notified that failure to comply with the Court’s Order to pay the
19
filing fee or submit a renewed application to proceed in forma pauperis would result in the Court
20
recommending dismissal of the action.
21
More than thirty days have elapsed since the Court’s Order and Plaintiff has not submitted
22
either a filing fee or a renewed application to proceed in forma pauperis.

NOTICE
4
Pursuant to Local Rule IB 3-2, any objection to this Finding and Recommendation must be in
5
writing and filed with the Clerk of the Court within fourteen (14) days. The Supreme Court has held
6
that the courts of appeal may determine that an appeal has been waived due to the failure to file
7
objections within the specified time. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 142 (1985). This circuit has also
8
held that (1) failure to file objections within the specified time and (2) failure to properly address and
9
brief the objectionable issues waives the right to appeal the District Court’s order and/or appeal
10
factual issues from the order of the District Court. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153, 1157 (9th Cir.
11
1991); Britt v. Simi Valley United Sch. Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983).
