UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MAGDALINA KALINCHEVA ,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 13cv1046-LAB (WVG)

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

vs.

JESSE NEUBARTH,

Defendant.

On May 1, 2013, Plaintiff Magdalina Kalincheva filed a complaint without paying the

required filing fee or moving to proceed in forma pauperis. All parties instituting any civil

action, suit or proceeding in any district court of the United States, except an application for

writ of habeas corpus, must pay a filing fee of $400. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). An action

may proceed despite a party’s failure to pay this filing fee only if the party is granted leave

to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). See Andrews v.

Cervantes, 493 F.3d 1047, 1051 (9th Cir. 2007); Rodriguez v. Cook, 169 F.3d 1176, 1177

(9th Cir. 1999). Because Plaintiff has neither paid the filing fee nor moved to proceed IFP,

the complaint is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. 

The complaint, as it stands now, would be subject to screening and dismissal if

Kalincheva moved to proceed in forma pauperis. The body of the complaint is

incomprehensible, often consisting of random words and phrases instead of complete

sentences. It does not comply with Fed. R. Civ. P. 8's “short and plain statement"

requirement, nor is it possible to say with any certainty what Kalincheva’s claims are or why

she believes she is entitled to relief. 

No later than January 5, 2015, Kalincheva must either pay the filing fee or file a

motion to proceed IFP, and must also file an amended complaint. If she does not do so, this

action will be dismissed for failure to prosecute. If Kalincheva files an amended complaint,

the amendments should address these issues. Kalincheva is required to support her claims

by factual allegations, not merely legal conclusions. If she files an amended complaint that

does not correct these defects, it may be dismissed with prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: December 2, 2014
