UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

THOMAS BUTLER, 

Plaintiff,

v.

CSP CENTRAL TOWER STAFF, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:15-cv-01532-JLT (PC)

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION 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 December 15, 2015, the Court ordered plaintiff to show cause why this action should 

not be dismissed due to his failure to comply to file either an application to proceed in forma 

pauperis or to pay the filing fee for this action. Plaintiff has not complied. The Court warned 

Plaintiff that it would recommend the matter be dismissed if he failed to obey.

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, it is 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.
