UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SEAVON PIERCE,

Plaintiff,

v.

U.S. CONGRESS,

Defendant.

No. 1:16-cv-01282-DAD-MJS (PC)

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION FOR 

PLAINITFF’S FAILURE TO PAY FILING 

FEE

(Doc. No. 17)

CLERK TO TERMINATE MOTIONS AND 

CLOSE CASE

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in a civil action. The matter was referred to 

a United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302 of the 

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. 

On September 13, 2016, and September 30, 2016, the assigned magistrate judge issued 

findings and recommendations recommending that plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma 

pauperis be denied. (Doc. Nos. 4 and 8.) On November 23, 2016, the undersigned adopted those 

findings and recommendations, denied plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis, and 

ordered plaintiff to pay the $400 filing fee in full within thirty days. (Doc. No. 17.) Plaintiff was 

cautioned that his failure to comply with that order would result in dismissal of this action. (Id. at 

2.)

The thirty day deadline has passed without plaintiff either paying the filing fee or seeking 

an extension of time to do so. Accordingly, pursuant to Local Rule 110, this action is hereby 

dismissed without prejudice due to plaintiff’s failure to pay the required filling fee. The Clerk is 

directed to terminate all pending motions and close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 5, 2017
