UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEANTHONY T. WINSTON,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:24-cv-00934-KES-HBK (PC)

ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND 

RECOMMENDATIONS, DENYING 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS, AND DIRECTING PAYMENT 

OF THE FILING FEE

(Docs. 4, 8, 9)

Plaintiff LeAnthony T. Winston is proceeding pro se in this action filed pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 

On September 16, 2024, plaintiff submitted an application to proceed in forma pauperis

(“IFP”). Doc. 4. On September 30, 2024, the magistrate judge issued findings and 

recommendations to deny plaintiff’s motion to proceed IFP because he has at least three 

dismissals that constitute a strike. See Doc. 8. The findings and recommendations were served 

on plaintiff and notified him that any objections were due within fourteen (14) days. Id. at 6. The 

findings and recommendations advised plaintiff that the “failure to file objections within the 

specified time may result in the waiver of certain rights on appeal.” Id., citing Wilkerson v. 

Wheeler, 772 F.3d 834, 838-39 (9th Cir. 2014). Plaintiff filed another copy of his Motion to 

Proceed in Forma Pauperis on October 10, 2024. Doc. 9. However, plaintiff has not filed any

objections and the time to do so has passed. See docket.

In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1), this court has conducted a de novo review of 

this case. Having carefully reviewed the file, the court finds the findings and recommendations to 

be supported by the record and by proper analysis.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The findings and recommendations, issued on September 30, 2024, Doc. 8, are

ADOPTED IN FULL. 

2. Plaintiff’s pending Motions to Proceed in Forma Pauperis, Docs. 4, 9, are DENIED.

3. Within 30 days from the date of service of this order, plaintiff SHALL pay in full the 

$405.00 filing fee if he wishes to proceed with his action.

4. Plaintiff is advised that failure to pay the required filing fee as ordered will result in 

the dismissal of this action without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
