IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

REX CHAPPELL,

Plaintiff, CV F 04 6197 OWW WMW P

vs. ORDER DISMISSING ACTION

F. BRASWELL, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action. 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 February 16, 2005, findings and recommendations were entered,

recommending dismissal of this action for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be

granted. Plaintiff was provided an opportunity to file objections within thirty days. On March

15, 2005, plaintiff filed objections to the findings and recommendations. 

The Magistrate Judge recommended that plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status be

revoked, and plaintiff be directed to submit the full filing fee. The Magistrate Judge found that

plaintiff has, on 3 or more prior occasions, suffered dismissals, or “strikes” within the meaning of

28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). On May 6, 2005, this court adopted the findings and recommendations,

and directed plaintiff to submit the $150 filing fee within thirty days. Plaintiff was specifically

cautioned that his failure to do so would result in dismissal of this action. The thirty day period

has passed, and plaintiff has failed to submit the filing fee.

Accordingly, THE COURT HEREBY ORDERS that this action is dismissed

without prejudice for plaintiff’s failure to prosecute and to obey a court order. The Clerk is

directed to close the case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
