UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RONALD F. MARTINEZ, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

C. RIOS, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:24-cv-2474 DAD SCR P 

ORDER 

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

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On September 17, 2024, this court ordered plaintiff to file a motion to 

proceed in forma pauperis or pay the filing fee within 30 days if he wished to proceed with this 

case. When plaintiff did not timely file a motion to proceed IFP, pay the fee, or otherwise 

respond to the court’s September 17 order, this court recommended this case be dismissed for 

plaintiff’s failure to comply with court orders. (Oct. 31, 2024 Findings and Recos.; ECF No. 7.) 

 Plaintiff filed timely objections to the October 31 findings and recommendations and also 

filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF Nos. 8, 9.) Plaintiff explains that difficulties 

with the prison mail room caused the delay in complying with the September 17 order. Plaintiff 

has shown good cause for his delay and will be permitted to proceed with this case.

course.
