UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLIE WEAVER,

Plaintiff,

v.

RIOS,

Defendant.

CASE NO. 1:16-cv-00596-AWI-MJS (PC)

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY ACTION 

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR 

FAILURE TO PAY FILING FEE OR FILE 

APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA 

PAUPERIS

(ECF No. 4)

FOURTEEN (14) DAY DEADLINE

Plaintiff is a prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action brought pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He initiated this action on April 28, 2016. (ECF No. 1.) On May 3, 

2016, the Court ordered Plaintiff to submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis 

by a prisoner or to pay the $400 filing fee within 45 days. (ECF No. 4.) The forty-five day 

deadline passed without Plaintiff either filing an application to proceed in forma pauperis, 

paying the applicable filing fee, or seeking an extension of time to do so.

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. Based on 

Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the Court’s order, dismissal of this action is appropriate.

(9th Cir. 2006); Local Rule 110.

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

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

an application to proceed in forma pauperis for a non-prisoner, pay the 

$400 filing fee in full, or show cause as to why this action should not be 

dismissed without prejudice; and

2. If Plaintiff fails to show cause, file an application to proceed in forma 

pauperis, or pay the $400 filing fee in full, 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.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
