FRANK BRETT,

Plaintiff,

v.

HELEN, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-03866-DMR 

ORDER REASSIGNING CASE TO 

DISTRICT JUDGE; REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION TO DISMISS 

CASE

On July 8, 2016, pro se Plaintiff Frank Brett filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis (“IFP”). [Docket No. 2.] On July 19, 2016, the court issued an order finding the IFP 

application incomplete, and ordering Plaintiff to file a completed IFP application by July 29, 2016. 

[Docket No. 5.] The court warned Plaintiff that failure to file a completed IFP application by that 

date could result in denial of his application. Id. Plaintiff did not file a completed IFP application. 

On August 8, 2016, the court denied Plaintiff’s IFP application and ordered Plaintiff to pay the 

$400.00 filing fee by no later than September 7, 2016. [Docket No. 7.] The court warned Plaintiff 

that failure to pay the filing fee by that date would result in dismissal of his action without 

prejudice. Id. Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee.

Accordingly, since Plaintiff has not yet filed a declination or consent to the jurisdiction of 

a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c), the court issues this Report and 

Recommendation and reassigns this case to a district judge for final disposition, with the 

recommendation that Plaintiff’s complaint be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. 

Any party may file objections to this report and recommendation with the district judge 

within 14 days after being served with a copy. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(a);
