ORDER DISMISSING ACTION

WITHOUT PREJUDICE FOR FAILURE

TO EITHER PAY FILING FEE IN FULL

OR FILE APPLICATION TO PROCEED

IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 3)

Plaintiff Raheim Carter, a prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action on

October 28, 2009. Plaintiff did not file an application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the

filing fee, and on November 4, 2009, the Court issued an order requiring Plaintiff to either pay

the $350.00 filing fee in full or file an application to proceed in forma pauperis on the form

provided with the order, within forty-five days. More than forty-five days have passed and

Plaintiff has not complied with or otherwise responded to the Court’s order. Plaintiff was

warned that dismissal would occur if he failed to obey the order.

has submitted neither in compliance with the Court’s order to do so, 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, the Court HEREBY ORDERS this action dismissed, without prejudice, for

failure to pay the filing fee or file a completed application to proceed in forma pauperis.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
