UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DERWIN BUTLER, SR.,

Plaintiff,

v.

RON, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:14-cv-01682-AWI-JLT (PC)

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE FOR FAILURE TO FILE 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA

PAUPERIS

(Doc. 7)

Plaintiff, Derwin Butler, Sr., a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action 

on August 25, 2014. On October 31, 2014, the Court issued an order requiring Plaintiff to pay the 

filing fee or file an application to proceed in forma pauperis on the form provided with the order, 

within forty-five days. More than forty-five days have passed and Plaintiff has not complied with 

or otherwise responded to the Court’s order. Plaintiff was warned that dismissal would occur if he 

failed to obey the order.

A civil action may not proceed absent the submission of either the filing fee or a completed 

application to proceed in forma pauperis. 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915. Based on Plaintiff’s failure to 

comply with the Court’s order, dismissal of this action is appropriate. In re Phenylpropanolamine 

(PPA) Products Liability Litigation, 460 F.3d 1217, 1226 (9th Cir. 2006); Local Rule 110.
