 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CEDRIC GREENE,

Plaintiff,

vs.

M. NIPPER, et al.,

Defendants.

 /

1:07-cv-00296-LJO-GSA PC

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION,

WITHOUT PREJUDICE, FOR FAILURE

TO PAY THE FILING FEE

(Docs. 4 and 8)

ORDER DIRECTING THE CLERK OF

THE COURT TO CLOSE THIS CASE

On March 21, 2007, the Court issued an order finding Plaintiff

Cedric Greene ineligible to proceed in forma pauperis in this

action and requiring Plaintiff to pay the $350.00 filing fee in

full within thirty days. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Plaintiff sought

and was granted a sixty-day extension of time in an order filed on

April 25, 2007. The order was re-served on Plaintiff twice due to

changes in his address of record, with the second re-service

occurring on August 6, 2007. Plaintiff has had almost twelve

months within which to pay the $350.00 filing fee for this action,

but has not done so. This action shall be dismissed and the Clerk

of the Court shall be directed to close the case.

28 The F&R was issued prior to entry of Plaintiff’s address change on the 1

docket.

2

The Court notes that on January 18, 2008, the Magistrate Judge

issued a Findings and Recommendations (“F&R”) recommending

dismissal of this action based on Plaintiff’s failure to update his

address within sixty days from the date mail served on Plaintiff

was returned as undeliverable. In light of the fact that Plaintiff

filed a notice of change of address on January 17, 2008, the Court

will not adopt the F&R and will not dismiss the case based on

Plaintiff’s failure to keep the Court apprised of his address.1

Based on the foregoing, this action is HEREBY ORDERED

dismissed, without prejudice, for failure to pay the filing fee in

compliance with the Court’s orders of March 21, 2007, and April 25,

2007, and the Clerk of the Court shall close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
