UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Enrique Martines is a state prisoner, and he seeks to proceed in forma pauperis in this action in 

which he alleges civil rights violations while housed at CSTAF Corcoran. (Docs. 1, 2.) The assigned 

magistrate judge reviewed Plaintiff’s Inmate Statement Report and noted “Plaintiff’s current available 

balance in his inmate trust account is $1,254.51.” (Doc. 8 at 1.) The magistrate judge determined that 

“Plaintiff is able to afford the costs of this action,” and recommended the Court deny his application to 

proceed in forma pauperis. (Id. at 1-2.)

The Court served the Findings and Recommendations on Plaintiff and notified him that any 

objections were due within 14 days. (Doc. 8 at 2.) The Court advised Plaintiff that the “failure to file 

objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of the ‘right to challenge the magistrate 

judge’s factual findings’ on appeal.” (Id., quoting Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 838-39 (9th 

Cir. 2014).) Plaintiff did not file objections, and the time to do so has passed. 

According to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), this Court performed a de novo review of this case.
