UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

TONY BLACKMAN, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

K. LAVALEUR, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-1484-EFB P 

ORDER AND FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS 

 Mr. Blackman is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel. On July 22, 2015, the court 

found that he had failed to properly commence a civil action by the filing of a complaint pursuant 

to Fed. R. Civ. P. 3 and further found that he had failed to pay the $400 filing fee required by 28 

U.S.C. § 1914(a) or request leave to proceed in forma pauperis and submit the affidavit and trust 

account statement required by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Accordingly, the court ordered plaintiff to 

file a complaint and submit either the filing fee or the application required by § 1915(a) within 

thirty days and warned him that failure to do so may result in this action being dismissed. The 

time for acting has passed and Mr. Blackman has not filed a complaint, paid the filing fee, 

submitted an application for leave to proceed in forma pauperis or otherwise responded to the 

court’s order. 

 Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the Clerk randomly assign a United States 

District Judge to this action.

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

appeal the District Court’s order. Turner v. Duncan, 158 F.3d 449, 455 (9th Cir. 1998); Martinez
