UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ESROM MADRID,

Plaintiff,

v.

VALLEY STATE PRISON,

Defendant.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:13-cv-01668-LJO-JLT (PC)

ORDER DISMISSING ACTION WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE FOR FAILURE TO PAY 

FILING FEE OR FILE APPLICATION TO 

PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS

(Doc. 11)

Plaintiff Esrom Madrid, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action on 

September 9, 2013 in the Northern District of California. On October 15, 2013, the case was 

transferred to the Eastern District of California. On October 17, 2013, the Court issued an order 

requiring Plaintiff to either pay the $400.00 filing fee in full or file an application to proceed in 

forma pauperis on the form provided with the order, within forty-five days. (Doc. 11.) 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. Based on Plaintiff’s failure to 

comply with the Court’s order, dismissal of this action is appropriate. In re Phenylpropanolamine 

(PPA) Products Liability Litigation, 460 F.3d 1217, 1226 (9th Cir. 2006); Local Rule 110.
