No. C07-1117 BZ

ORDER DISMISSING COMPLAINT

On February 23, 2007, plaintiff filed this employment

discrimination complaint pro see and applied to proceed in

forma pauperis. After a series of Orders requiring him to

amend his in forma pauperis application, on June 27, 2007, I

denied his application and ordered him to pay the filing fee

by July 16, 2007. Thereafter, I granted plaintiff a series of

extensions to pay the fee. On October 30, 2007 I granted

plaintiff’s request, ordered him to pay the fee by December 3,

2007 and cautioned him that “no further extensions will be

granted, and failure to timely pay the fee may result in

dismissal of plaintiff’s suit.”

On December 5, 2007 the court received a letter dated

December 2, 2007 asking that this case be placed “on hold

until the outcome of my most recent State Personnel Board

Appeal dated November 26th, 2007" and offering to pay the

filing fee “if the results are in [sic] not in my favor.” The

request gives no indication of when this may happen. 

It is unclear why plaintiff filed a discrimination

lawsuit if he was still pursuing an administrative appeal and

there is no justification for disobeying the Orders requiring

him to pay the filing fee. Accordingly, his requests for an

indefinite extension of time is DENIED and this case is

DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
