Specifically, a review of Plaintiff’s inmate trust account statement reflects that, as of 22 September 29, 2021, Plaintiff has $958.46 in available funds. See ECF No. 9, pg. 4. Plaintiff is 23 thus able to pre-pay the filing fees for this case. 24 /// 25 /// 26 /// 27 /// 28 /// 1 1 Based on the foregoing, the undersigned recommends that: 2 1. Plaintiff’s motion for in forma pauperis status, ECF No. 9, be denied; and 3 2. Plaintiff be directed to pay the filing fees in full. 4 These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District 5 Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within 14 days 6 after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file written objections 7 with the Court. Responses to objections shall be filed within 14 days after service of objections. 8 Failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal.
