On September 19, 2018, the Honorable Troy L. Nunley revoked plaintiff’s 19 in forma pauperis status and ordered plaintiff to pay the filing fee within thirty days. (ECF No. 20 17.) Thirty days passed and plaintiff did not pay the filing fee. Accordingly, the undersigned 21 recommends that this action be dismissed. Plaintiff has also requested that this action be stayed pending his appeal of Judge 22 23 Mueller’s order in 2:16-cv-347 KJM KJN P directing plaintiff to pay the filing fee. (ECF No. 24 14.) Court records indicate that the Ninth Circuit dismissed plaintiff’s appeal of Judge Mueller’s 25 order for plaintiff’s failure to prosecute. (See 16-cv-347; ECF No. 70.) Accordingly, plaintiff’s 26 motion to stay this action pending his appeal of Judge Mueller’s order should be denied. 27 //// 28 //// 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that: 2 1.
