UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MORRIS MESTER,

Plaintiff,

v.

N. MALAKKLA, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:17-cv-1781 JAM AC P

ORDER

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action seeking relief 

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On November 21, 2019, this court adopted the findings and recommendations of the 

magistrate judge assigned to this matter. ECF No. 60. At that time, plaintiff was declared a 

three-strikes litigant within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), and his in forma pauperis status 

was revoked. See ECF No. 60 at 2. As a result, plaintiff was ordered to pay the filing fees within 

thirty days of the date of that order prior to proceeding any further with this action. See id. In 

addition, he was warned that failure to pay the fee within the period would result in a dismissal of 

this case. More than thirty days have passed, and plaintiff has not paid the filing fee.
