of $400. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a).1 An action may proceed despite a party's failure to 

pay this filing fee only ifthe party is granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP") 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). See Andrews v. Cervantes, 493 F.3d 1047, 1051 (9th 

Cir. 2007); Rodriguez v. Cook, 169 F .3d 1l76~ 1177 (9th Cir. 1999). 

Plaintiff has not prepaid the $400 in filing and administrative fees required to 

commence a civil action, nor has he submitted a Motion to Proceed IFP pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1915(a). Therefore, the case cannot yet proceed. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a); 

Andrews, 493 F.3dat 1051. 

II. 	 CONCLUSION AND ORDER 

For the reasons set forth above, the Court hereby: 

(1) DISMISSES this action sua sponte without prejudice for failing to pay the 

$400 civil filing and administrative fee or submit a Motion to Proceed IFP pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 1914(a) and § 1915(a); and 

(2) GRANTS Plaintiff forty five (45) days leave from the date this Order is 

filed to: (a) prepay the entire $400 civil filing and administrative fee in full; or 

(b) complete and file a Motion to Proceed IFP which includes a certified copy ofhis trust 

account statement for the 6-month period preceding the filing ofhis Complaint. See 28 

U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2); S.D. CAL. ClvLR 3.2(b).2 

1 In addition to the $350 statutory fee, allfarties filing civil actions on or after May 1, 

2013, must pay an additional administrative fee 0 $50. See 28 U.S.c. § 1914(a), (b); Judicial 

Conference Schedule ofFees, District Court Misc. Fee Schedule, eff. May 1,2013. However, 

the additional $50 administrative fee is waived ifthe plaintiff is granted leave to proceed IFP. 

Id. 

2 Plaintiff is cautioned that if he chooses to proceed further with this action either by 

paying the full $400 in civil and administrative fees required by 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a), or moving 

to proceed IFP, his Complaint, which is currently comprised of a single page of unpunctuated 

and nonsensicallegaljargon seeking the issuance ofa "writ ofattachment 5amishment" for "five 

million ... plus one hundred million dollars" against unidentified "agents' and the President of 

the United States, will be screened and immediately dismissed as frivolous pursuant to 28 U. S.C. 

§ 1915A(b) and 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(b). See Lopez v. Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1126-27 (9th 

tiro 2000) (en bane) (noting that 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) "not only permits but requires" the court 

to sua sponte dismiss an injormapauperis complaint that fails to state a claim); see also Rhodes 

v. Robinson, 621 F.3d 1002, 1004 (9th Cir. 2010) (discussing sua sponte screening required by 

28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b) of all prisoner complaints).

shall remain dismissed without prejudice and without further Order ofthe Court.
