 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ERIC LEE HACKETT,

Plaintiff,

vs.

CHRISTOPHER JOHNSON, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

1:04-cv-06685-AWI-LJO-P

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS (Doc. 7)

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION

Plaintiff, Eric Lee Hackett (“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 29, 2005, the Magistrate Judge filed Findings and

Recommendations that recommended this action be dismissed for

Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the court’s order requiring

him to submit a completed application to proceed in forma

pauperis or pay the filing fee. The Findings and Recommendations

were served on plaintiff and which contained notice to plaintiff

that any objections to the Findings and Recommendations were to

be filed within thirty (30) days. On April 4, 2005, plaintiff

filed objections to the Magistrate Judge’s Findings and

Recommendations.

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. Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the

Court finds the Findings and Recommendations to be supported by

the record and by proper analysis. In his objections, Plaintiff

states that he was given in forma pauperis status in another

action. Title 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)requires a prisoner to submit

an affidavit, along with a certified copy of the prisoner’s trust

fund account statement for the six month period preceding the

filing of the complaint, in order for a prisoner to receive in

forma pauperis status. Thus, the fact Plaintiff was given in

forma pauperis status in another action does not absolve

Plaintiff from complying with the court’s order that he submit

the appropriate paperwork in this action. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations, filed March 29, 2005,

are ADOPTED IN FULL;

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

to obey the Court’s order of February 16, 2005; and,

3. Any and all pending motions, requests, and/or

applications are DENIED as MOOT.

4. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to enter Judgment in

accordance with this order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
