UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WINSTON KEMPER,

Plaintiff,

v.

DR. PIE, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-0305 KJN P

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

Plaintiff consented to proceed before the undersigned for all purposes. See 28 U.S.C. 

§ 636(c). By order filed May 5, 2014, plaintiff was ordered to pay the $400.00 filing fee within 

thirty days, and was cautioned that failure to do so would result in the dismissal of this action. 

The thirty day period has now expired, and plaintiff has not paid the filing fee. On May 16, 2014, 

plaintiff wrote the Clerk of Court, stating he had enclosed an exhibit verifying he had paid his 

filing fee (“trust account office statement 4-7-2014, filing fee balance $51.20, paid”). However, 

there was no enclosure contained in such filing, and to date, this court has not received any

money toward the $400.00 filing fee. Moreover, in the May 5, 2014 order, plaintiff was informed 

that the Northern District of California, where plaintiff first filed the instant complaint, confirmed 

that the Northern District did not receive payment. (ECF No. 13 at 1.) In an abundance of

caution, plaintiff is ordered to show cause why this action should not be dismissed based on 

plaintiff’s failure to pay the $400.00 filing fee.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff show cause, within twenty-one 

days, why this action should not be dismissed without prejudice. Failure to respond to this order 

to show cause, and failure to pay the $400.00 filing fee, will result in the dismissal of this action.
