UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

HERBERT MILLER, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

BAYVIEW LOAN SERVICING, LLC, et 

al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:17-cv-136-JAM-KJN PS 

ORDER 

 Plaintiff Herbert Miller, proceeding without counsel, initially commenced this action on 

January 20, 2017, and paid the $400.00 filing fee by check. (ECF No. 1.) However, the check 

was returned to the court for uncollected funds, and the court’s financial staff subsequently 

determined that a stop payment order was placed on the check. 

 On January 30, 2017, the Clerk’s Office sent a letter to plaintiff notifying him that he was 

required to pay $453.00 to the Clerk’s Office (the $400 filing fee and a $53 returned check fee) 

by February 13, 2017. (ECF No. 4.) The letter provided plaintiff with a telephone number for the 

court’s financial department to contact if plaintiff had any questions. (Id.) The next day, on 

January 31, 2017, the court also issued a minute order directing plaintiff to pay the $453.00 

within fourteen (14) days, i.e., by February 14, 2017. (ECF No. 5.) The minute order specifically 

cautioned that if payment is not timely received, the case will be dismissed and closed for failure

to pay the filing fee. (Id.) 

 Although the latest applicable payment deadline has now passed, plaintiff has not paid the 

applicable $453.00 fee, has not contacted the court’s financial department, and has not requested 

an extension of time from the court to make payment. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. The action is dismissed without prejudice for failure to pay the filing fee. 

2. The Clerk of Court shall close this case.
