UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GUILLERMO TRUJILLO CRUZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

OCHOA, Correctional Officer at North

Kern State Prison,

Defendant.

No. 1:19-cv-01570-DAD-JDP (PC)

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION FOR 

PLAINTIFF’S FAILURE TO PAY FILING 

FEE

(Doc. No. 12)

Plaintiff Guillermo Trujillo Cruz is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights 

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This matter was referred to a United States Magistrate 

Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302.

On November 20, 2019, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and 

recommendations recommending that plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis under 

28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) be denied because plaintiff had three or more prior strike dismissals and that 

he be ordered to pay the required $400.00 filing fee to proceed with this action. (Doc. No. 7.) On 

February 5, 2020, 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 (30) days. (Doc. No. 12.) Plaintiff was cautioned that his failure to comply with 

that order and pay the required filing fee within the specified time would result in dismissal of 

this action. (Id. at 2.)

Plaintiff has not paid the required filing fee or requested an extension of time to do so, and 

the deadline to pay the required filing fee has now passed. 

Accordingly, 

1. This action is dismissed without prejudice due to plaintiff’s failure to obey a court 

order and to pay the required filing fee; and

2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 18, 2020
