RAYMOND GEORGE GLASS,

 Plaintiff,

v.

MARTIN BITER, et al., 

 Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01666-MJS (PC)

ORDER VACATING ORDER TO SHOW 

CAUSE AND DISMISSING ACTION

(ECF NO. 12.)

CLERK TO CLOSE CASE

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action brought 

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has consented to Magistrate Judge jurisdiction. 

(ECF No. 8.) No other parties have appeared in the action.

On January 5, 2016, the undersigned denied Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in 

forma pauperis because he had incurred three “strikes” within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915(g) and because he failed to meet the imminent danger exception. (ECF No. 10.) 

Plaintiff was given twenty-one days to pay the $400 filing fee in full and was warned that 

if he fails to pay, all pending motions will be terminated and the action dismissed.

When Plaintiff failed to pay the filing fee within twenty-one days, the undersigned 

issued an order on February 2, 2016, directing Plaintiff to show cause why this action

should not be dismissed for failure to pay the filing fee and failure to comply with a court 

order. (ECF No. 12.) Alternatively, Plaintiff was directed to pay the filing fee in full. To 

date, Plaintiff has not responded to the order to show cause and has not paid the filing 

fee. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The February 2, 2016, Order to Show Cause is vacated;

2. All pending motions are terminated; 

3. This action is DISMISSED; and 

4. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
