FRESNO FEDERAL COURT, et al., Defendants. Case No. 1:16-cv-01281-JLT (PC) FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO DISMISS BASED ON PLAINTIFF’S FAILURE TO OBEY COURT ORDER AND TO PAY FILING FEE (Doc. 7) 30-DAY DEADLINE 16 Seavon Pierce filed this action on August 30, 2016. That same day Plaintiff filed an 17 application to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (Doc. 2.) 18 A civil action may not proceed absent the submission of either the filing fee or an 19 approved application to proceed in forma pauperis. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915. On November 23, 20 2016, the Court denied Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis because he had filed 21 more than three frivolous actions in the past and did not meet the imminent danger of serious 22 physical exception of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) at the time this action was filed. (Doc. 7.) The Court 23 ordered him to pay the $400.00 filing fee within thirty days. (Doc. 7.) More than thirty days 24 have passed and Plaintiff has failed to make payment. 25 26 27 Based on Plaintiff’s ineligibility to proceed in forma pauperis and his failure to comply with the Court’s order to pay the filing fee in full, dismissal of this action is appropriate.
