action for Plaintiff Saunder's failure to prosecute. Plaintiff Saunders was not authorized to proceed in forma pauperis, as he has suffered three dismissals as "strikes" pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Plaintiff Saunders was provided an opportunity to submit the $350 filing fee in full. He failed to do so, and his case was dismissed for failure to prosecute pursuant to Local Rule 110. As that case has been closed and is no longer pending, the motion to consolidate this case with case number 1:06 cv 01567 AWI WMW PC is moot. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion to consolidate is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: ci4d6 May 6, 2010 /s/ Michael J. Seng UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
