IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HEATHER COLLINS,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-10-1473 LKK KJM PS

vs.

FANNIE MAE, ORDER AND

Defendant. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

Plaintiff is proceeding in this action pro se. Plaintiff has requested authority

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 to proceed in forma pauperis. This proceeding was referred to this

court by Local Rule 72-302(c)(21).

Plaintiff has submitted the affidavit required by § 1915(a) showing that plaintiff is

unable to prepay fees and costs or give security for them. Accordingly, the request to proceed in

forma pauperis will be granted. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a).

In this action, plaintiff challenges an unlawful detainer action presently being

taken against her in state court. Because the unlawful detainer action was filed in state court

prior to the initiation of the instant federal court action and both actions involve precisely the

same property, this court is required to abstain from exercising jurisdiction. See Colorado River

Water Conservation District v. United States, 424 U.S. 800, 814-15 (1976); see also Scherbenske

v. Wachovia Mortgage, FSB, 626 F.Supp.2d 1052, 1057-58 (E.D. Cal. 2009).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's request to proceed in

forma pauperis is granted; and

IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed.

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District

Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within

fourteen days after being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file

written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be

captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." Plaintiff is

advised that failure to file objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the

District Court's order. Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).
