IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RUSTY LUGO,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-07-1134 MCE JFM P

vs.

WILLIAM, et al.,

Defendants. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

Plaintiff, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, has filed a civil rights action pursuant

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff’s complaint was accompanied by an incomplete application to

proceed in forma pauperis. On July 5, 2007, plaintiff was directed to submit a complete

application to proceed in forma pauperis together with a certified copy of his prison trust account

statement for the six month period immediately preceding the filing of the complaint. See 28

U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). On August 13, 2007, plaintiff again filed an incomplete in forma pauperis

application, unaccompanied by the required certified trust account statement. By order filed

September 13, 2007, plaintiff was given another period of thirty days in which to file a complete

in forma pauperis application and the required trust account statement. Plaintiff was cautioned

that failure to comply with the order would result in a recommendation that this action be

dismissed without prejudice.

 On December 19, 2007, plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint 1

is not accompanied by a complete in forma pauperis application, nor has plaintiff tendered any

explanation for his failure to comply with the court’s November 26, 2007 order.

2

Plaintiff failed to comply with the September 13, 2007 order. Accordingly, on

October 24, 2007, this court issued findings and recommendations recommending that this action

be dismissed without prejudice. On November 5, 2007, plaintiff filed another incomplete in

forma pauperis application. Plaintiff has never filed a copy of his prison trust account statement.

By order filed November 26, 2007, the October 24, 2007 findings and

recommendations were vacated and plaintiff was given one final opportunity to submit a

complete in forma pauperis application and a certified copy of his prison trust account statement

for the six month period that preceded the filing of this action. Plaintiff was cautioned that

failure to comply with the order would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed. 

The thirty day period has now expired, and plaintiff has not complied with the November 26,

2007 order. 

1

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed

without prejudice.

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District

Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within twenty

days after being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file written

objections with the court. The document should be captioned “Objections to Magistrate Judge’s

Findings and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file objections within the
