SEAN EDWARD DOUGLAS-MCCLAIN, Plaintiff, v. JUDGE JEANNIE HUA, Defendants.
ORDER TO ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE CASE
CAM FERENBACH, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
I previously denied pro se plaintiff's in forma pauperis (IFP) application without prejudice. ECF No. 3. I gave plaintiff until March 24, 2022, to either file the long form IFP application or to pay the filing fee. Id. The deadline has passed, and plaintiff has not paid the filing fee or submitted a new IFP application. Since plaintiff has not commenced this action, I order that this case be administratively closed.
ACCORDINGLY, I RECOMMEND that this action be DISMISSED and Judgment entered
NOTICE
Pursuant to Local Rules IB 3-1 and IB 3-2, a party may object to orders and reports and recommendations issued by the magistrate judge. Objections must be in writing and filed with the Clerk of the Court within fourteen days. LR IB 3-1, 3-2. The Supreme Court has held that the courts of appeal may determine that an appeal has been waived due to the failure to file objections within the specified time. Thomas v. Arn, 474 U.S. 140, 142 (1985). This circuit has also held that (1) failure to file objections within the specified time and (2) failure to properly address and brief the objectionable issues waives the right to appeal the District Court's order and/or appeal factual issues from the order of the District Court. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153, 1157 (9th Cir. 1991); Britt v. Simi Valley United Sch. Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454 (9th Cir. 1983). Pursuant to LR IA 3-1, the plaintiff must immediately file written notification with the court of any change of address. The notification must include proof of service upon each opposing party's attorney, or upon the opposing party if the party is unrepresented by counsel. Failure to comply with this rule may result in dismissal of the action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
