 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LONNIE WILLIAMS,

Plaintiff,

vs.

Defendants.

1:05-cv-01015-AWI-DLB-P

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATION (Doc. 18)

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION

Plaintiff, Lonnie Williams (“Plaintiff”), is a state

prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States

Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local

Rule 72-302.

On March 30, 2006, the Magistrate Judge filed Findings and

Recommendation herein which recommended this action be dismissed

for Plaintiff’s failure to obey the court’s order that he pay the

filing fee for this action. The Findings and Recommendations

were served on Plaintiff and which contained notice to Plaintiff

that any objections to the Findings and Recommendation were to be

filed within thirty (30) days. On May 3, 2006, Plaintiff filed

objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendation.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C.§ 636(b)(1)(C)

and Local Rule 73-305, this Court has conducted a de novo review

of this case. In his objections, Plaintiff contends that the

Magistrate Judge, without any authority, ordered him to pay the

filing fee. Plaintiff argues this action cannot be dismissed

for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this unlawful order. 

Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the court finds the

Findings and Recommendation to be supported by the record and by

proper analysis. 

A review of this file reveals that Plaintiff was originally

granted in forma pauperis status. However, on January 6, 2006,

the Magistrate Judge entered Findings and Recommendations that

recommended Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status be revoked

pursuant 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) because on three of more occasions

Plaintiff has had actions dismissed as frivolous, as malicious,

or for failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. 

These Findings and Recommendations were served on Plaintiff at

the address Plaintiff had provided the court. On February 16,

2006, the District Court Judge then assigned to this action

adopted these Findings and Recommendations and ordered Plaintiff

to pay the filing fee within fifteen days. Again, this order was

served at on Plaintiff at the address Plaintiff had provided the

court. When Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee, on March 30,

2006, the Magistrate Judge filed Findings and Recommendations

that this action be dismissed for Plaintiff’s failure to comply

with the court’s order. Based on these court records, the court

finds that Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status was properly

pay the filing fee. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendation, filed March 30, 2006,

are ADOPTED IN FULL; and,

2. This action is DISMISSED based on Plaintiff’s failure

to obey the court’s order of February 16, 2006.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
