UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

JOWELL FINLEY,

Plaintiff,

v.

KERN COUNTY SHERIFF DETENTION 

FACILITY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00279-JLT (PC)

ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO 

ASSIGN DISTRICT JUDGE

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

TO DISMISS ACTION WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE FOR FAILURE TO PAY 

FILING FEE OR FILE APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 3)

30 DAY DEADLINE

On March 4, 2016, the Court issued an order requiring Plaintiff to either pay the $400.00 

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

order, within 45 days. More than 45 days have passed and Plaintiff has not complied with or 

otherwise responded to the Court’s order. The Court warned Plaintiff that it would dismiss the 

case 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. 

Accordingly, the Clerk of the Court is DIRECTED to assign a District Judge to this action.

Further, the Court RECOMMENDS that this action be dismissed without prejudice for Plaintiff's 

failure to pay the filing fee or file a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis. 

These Findings and Recommendations will be submitted to the United States District 

Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within 30 

days after being served with these Findings and Recommendations, Plaintiff may file written 

objections with the Court. The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s 

Findings and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the 

specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal. Wilkerson v. Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 

839 (9th Cir. 2014) (citing Baxter v. Sullivan, 923 F.2d 1391, 1394 (9th Cir. 1991)).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
