FEE AND FAILURE TO OBEY COURT 

ORDER

Doc. 9

Plaintiff James Bobby Davenport, III is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil 

rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On December 5, 2023, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and 

recommendations recommending that Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis be 

denied pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) and that Plaintiff be required to pay the filing fee in full to 

proceed with this action. Doc. 5. Plaintiff filed objections on December 18, 2023. Doc. 7.

On November 4, 2024, the Court issued an order adopting the findings and 

recommendations in full and directing Plaintiff to pay the $405.00 filing fee in full within twentyone (21) days. Doc. 9. In that order, Plaintiff was warned that if he failed to pay the filing fee 

within the specified time, this action would be dismissed. Id. at 3. Plaintiff has not paid the filing 

fee, and the deadline for him to do so has expired.

Because Plaintiff has failed to obey the Court’s order and pay the appropriate filing fee, 

this case cannot proceed. This matter will be dismissed. See Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 

1260–61 (9th Cir. 1992).

Based on the foregoing, the Court ORDERS:

1. This action is dismissed, without prejudice, for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the 

Court’s order and his failure to pay the filing fee; and

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

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 18, 2024
