Case No. 1:17-cv-00735-DAD-EPG (PC)
08-02-2017
FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS, RECOMMENDING THAT THIS ACTION BE DISMISSED, WITHOUT PREJUDICE OBJECTIONS, IF ANY, DUE WITHIN TWENTY-ONE DAYS
Manuel Herrera-Garcia ("Plaintiff") is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with this civil rights action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On May 31, 2017, the Court issued an order giving Plaintiff forty-five days to either pay the $400 filing fee or submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 7). Plaintiff was warned that his case would be dismissed if he did not pay the filing fee or submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (Id.). The time period has expired, and Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee, submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis, or otherwise respond to the Court's order.
The Court notes that before this case was transferred to the Eastern District of California, the Clerk of Court at the Northern District of California sent Plaintiff a notice, notifying Plaintiff that his case would be dismissed if he did not pay the filing fee or file an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 3). It does not appear that Plaintiff responded to the notice. --------
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that:
1. This action be dismissed, without prejudice, for Plaintiff's failure to pay the filing fee or file an application to proceed in forma pauperis; and
2. The Clerk of Court be directed to close this case.
These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). Within twenty-one (21) days after being served with these findings and recommendations, Plaintiff may file written objections with the court. Such a document should be captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal. Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 838-39 (9th Cir. 2014) (citing Baxter v. Sullivan, 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991)). IT IS SO ORDERED.
