Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, seeks relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and 

has requested permission to proceed in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 in both the 

above-referenced matters. (See Cisneros, Doc. 4; Pfeiffer, Doc. 6 (applications to proceed in 

forma pauperis).) The matters were referred to a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28

cases, which were served on Plaintiff and which notified him that any objections were due within 

14 days. (See Cisneros, Doc. 10 at 9; Pheiffer, Doc. 11 at 9.) The Court advised him that the 

“failure to file objections within the specified time may result in the waiver of rights on appeal.” 

(Id., citing Martinez v. Ylst, 951 F.2d 1153 (9th Cir. 1991).) As of April 22, 2024, Plaintiff has 

not filed objections in either case.

According to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(C), this Court performed a de novo review of both 

matters. Having carefully reviewed the matter, the Court concludes the Findings and 

Recommendations in each case are supported by the record and proper analysis. Thus, the Court 

ORDERS: 

1. The Findings and Recommendations issued March 27, 2024, in Moten v. Cisneros, 

No. 1:24-cv-00022 JLT GSA (Doc. 10), and Moten v. Pfeiffer, No. 1:24-cv-00043 

JLT GSA (Doc. 11), are ADOPTED IN FULL.

3. The Clerk of Court shall IDENTIFY Plaintiff as a three strikes litigant within the 

meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) in the Court’s docketing system.

4. Plaintiff’s applications to proceed in forma pauperis in Moten v. Cisneros, No. 

1:24-cv-00022 JLT GSA (see Doc. 4), and Moten v. Pfeiffer, No. 1:24-cv-00043 

(see Doc. 6) are DENIED.

6. On or before May 23, 2024, – Plaintiff shall pay the filing fee in full in each of the 

above-referenced matters prior to proceeding any further in them.

Plaintiff is cautioned that absent exigent circumstances, his failure to pay the filing 

fees in full in each case within the time allotted will result in their dismissal without further 

notice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
