UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JAMES CARL KELLY,

Plaintiff,

v.

GAVIN NEWSOME, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 1:24-cv-01063 JLT SKO

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE FOR PLAINTIFF’S FAILURE TO 

PAY FILING FEE

(Doc. 8)

The Court found Plaintiff is subject to the three strikes bar of 28 U.S.C. § 1915. (Doc. 8.) 

However, Plaintiff has not paid the filing fee, despite a warning that failure to do so would result 

in dismissal. (Id. at 2.) Without such payment, the action cannot proceed. See Saddozai v. 

Davis, 35 F.4th 705 (9th Cir. 2022) (when subject to the three strikes bar, “the prisoner must pay 

the whole filing fee up front before bringing another lawsuit”). Thus, the Court ORDERS:

1. Plaintiff’s complaint is DISMISSED without prejudice.

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 23, 2024
