UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOSE ARTEAGA,

Plaintiff,

v.

D. NEVE, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 1:19-cv-01001-NONE-SKO (PC) 

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION FOR 

FAILURE TO PAY FILING FEE AND

TO OBEY A COURT ORDER

Plaintiff Jose Arteaga is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action under

42 U.S.C. section 1983. (Doc. No. 1.) This matter was referred to a United States magistrate 

judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On February 6, 2020, the court denied plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis

(Doc. No. 11) and ordered him to pay the filing fee of $400 within thirty (30) days. (Doc. No. 

19.) The court warned plaintiff that failure to pay the filing fee within the specified time would 

result in dismissal of this action. (Id.) Plaintiff has not paid the filing fee and the time to do so 

has since passed.
