UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

GREGORY C. BONTEMPS,

Plaintiff,

v.

R. THOMAS,

Defendant.

No. 2:19-cv-1537 TLN DB P

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 

1983. On October 10, 2019, the undersigned recommended that plaintiff’s motion to proceed in 

forma pauperis be denied because plaintiff accrued three strikes under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) prior 

to filing the present action. (ECF No. 8.) On December 2, 2020, the district judge assigned to 

this action adopted the findings and recommendations and directed plaintiff to pay the filing fee 

within thirty days or face dismissal of the case. (ECF No. 10.) Those thirty days have passed, 

and plaintiff has not paid the filing fee or otherwise responded to the court’s orders.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without 

prejudice.

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District Judge 

assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within fourteen days 

after being served with these findings and recommendations, plaintiff may file written objections

to Magistrate Judge’s Findings and Recommendations.” Plaintiff is advised that failure to file 

objections within the specified time may waive the right to appeal the District Court’s order.
