UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DARRELL DIETLE,

CDCR #T-89292

Plaintiff,

vs.

P. MEHRABAN,

Defendant.

Case No. 3:17-cv-2458-CAB-JMA

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION FOR 

FAILING TO COMPLY WITH 

COURT ORDER

Darrell Dietle (“Plaintiff”), currently incarcerated at the Richard J. Donovan 

Correctional Facility located in San Diego, California, is proceeding pro se in this civil 

rights action, filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. At the time he filed his Complaint, 

Plaintiff did not prepay the $400 filing fee mandated by 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a) nor did he 

file a Motion to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

On December 14, 2017, the Court DISMISSED the entire action sua sponte for 

failing to pay the filing fee or submit a Motion to Proceed IFP. (ECF No. 3) Plaintiff 

was given thirty (30) days leave to prepay the civil and administrative filing fee or 

complete and file a Motion to Proceed IFP. (Id.) That time has since passed and Plaintiff 

has not complied with the Court’s Order.
