FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS JEFFREY BEARD, et al., 15 Defendants. 16 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42 17 18 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 1, 2016, defendants’ motion to revoke plaintiff’s in forma pauperis 19 status was granted and plaintiff was ordered to pay the $400 filing fee in order to proceed with 20 this action. (ECF No. 28.) Plaintiff moved for reconsideration and on January 26, 2017, the 21 district judge denied that motion and affirmed the March 1, 2016 order. (ECF No. 37.) Plaintiff 22 was ordered to pay the filing fee within twenty-one days. 23 Plaintiff then filed an appeal. (ECF No. 38.) On January 24, 2018, the Court of Appeals 24 dismissed plaintiff’s appeal and on February 22, 2018, the Court of Appeals issued its mandate. 25 (ECF No. 44.) On February 27, 2018, this court again gave plaintiff twenty-one days to submit 26 the $400 filing fee. (ECF No. 45.) Plaintiff was warned that if he failed to pay the fee, this court 27 would recommend that this action be dismissed. 28 //// 1 1 Twenty-one days have passed and plaintiff has not submitted the filing fee or otherwise 2 responded to the February 27 order.
