Having carefully reviewed the entire file, including Plaintiff’s 3 objections, the court finds the findings and recommendations to be supported by the record and 4 by proper analysis. Although Plaintiff states in his objections that he does not have “any other 5 extra money,” he also indicates that he makes “$900 A HOUR FORE PROFIT.” (Doc. 4 at 2.) 6 Plaintiff’s objections provide no basis to reject the magistrate judge’s findings and 7 recommendations. Plaintiff has not made the showing required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a) that he is 8 unable to pay the required filing fee in this action. 9 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 10 1. The findings and recommendations issued on April 29, 2022 (Doc. 3) are adopted in 11 full; 2. Plaintiff’s application to proceed without prepayment of fees and costs is denied (Doc. 12 13 2); 14 3. Within thirty (30) days from the date of this order, Plaintiff is required to pay the 15 $402.00 filing fee in full to proceed with this action; and 4.
