UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KORY T. O’BRIEN, 

Plaintiff,

v.

SIED, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:16-cv-01178-SKO (PC)

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE FOR PLAINTIFF’S FAILURE TO

OBEY A COURT ORDER AND TO PAY FILING 

FEE OR FILE PROPER APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS 

(Docs. 9, 10)

Plaintiff, Kory T. O’Brien, is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On September 2, 2016, an order issued for Plaintiff to submit a 

correct application to proceed in forma pauperis, or to pay the filing fee within 45 days. (Doc. 

9.)1 Despite lapse of more than the time allowed, Plaintiff has not complied with or otherwise 

responded to the Court’s order. (Id.) Plaintiff was warned that recommendation for dismissal 

would issue if he failed to obey the order. (Id.) Further, on December 2, 2016, an order issued 

for Plaintiff to show cause within thirty days why the action should not be dismissed for his 

failure to prosecute and comply with the Court’s order. (Doc. 10.) Despite lapse of more than the 

allowed time, Plaintiff has failed to file any response. 

A civil action may not proceed absent the submission of either the filing fee or a 

completed, correct application to proceed in forma pauperis. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915. Based on 

 

1

The proper form was provided with that order for Plaintiff’s use. (See Doc. 9-1, pp. 2-3.)

Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the Court’s order, dismissal of this action is appropriate. In re 

Phenylpropanolamine (PPA) Products Liability Litigation, 460 F.3d 1217, 1226 (9th Cir. 2006); 

Local Rule 110. 

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that this action is dismissed without prejudice for 

Plaintiff's failure to comply with the Court’s order and to pay the filing fee or file the correct

application to proceed in forma pauperis.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
