UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JULIO SANDOVAL,

Plaintiff,

v.

M. LOPEZ, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 1:23-cv-00248 JLT SKO (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS TO DENY 

PLAINTIFF’S APPLICATION TO PROCEED 

IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Docs. 2 & 5)

Plaintiff is proceeding pro se in this civil rights action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983. This matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 

On February 23, 2023, the magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations, 

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

Plaintiff has three prior lawsuits that were dismissed for a failure to state a claim or for repeated

violations of Rule 8 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. (Doc. 5.) Further, the magistrate 

judge found Plaintiff did not meet the imminent danger of serious physical injury exception and 

recommended that Plaintiff be ordered to pay the $402 filing fee within 30 days. (Id. at 2-3.) 

Plaintiff was afforded 14 days within which to file objections. (Id. at 3-4.) More than 14 days 

have passed, and Plaintiff has not filed objections.
