ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY ACTION 

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR 

FAILURE TO PAY FILING FEE OR FILE 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS, FAILURE TO OBEY COURT 

ORDER, AND FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

(ECF No. 4)

FOURTEEN (14) DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff Michael Salinas, a prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action on 

October 19, 2015. On October 21, 2015, the Court issued an order requiring Plaintiff to file a 

form application to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the filing fee 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.

A civil action may not proceed absent the submission of either the filing fee or a completed 

application to proceed in forma pauperis. 28 U.S.C. § 1914, 1915. Because Plaintiff has 

submitted neither in compliance with the Court’s order to do so, plaintiff is ordered to show 

cause why this action should be dismissed for failure to obey a court order.

1. Within fourteen (14) days of service of this Order, Plaintiff shall 

a. file an application to proceed in forma pauperis for a non-prisoner, or pay 

the $400 filing fee in full; and

c. show cause as to why this action should not be dismissed without 

prejudice; 

2. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this order, the undersigned will dismiss the 

action without prejudice for failure to pay the filing fee or file a completed application to 

proceed in forma pauperis, failure to obey a court order, and failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
