UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On September 9, 2015, the Court revoked Plaintiff’s in forma pauperis status and gave 

Plaintiff fourteen days in which to pay the requisite filing fee. See Doc. No. 22. The Court 

warned Plaintiff that the failure to timely pay the filing fee would result in the dismissal of this 

case without further notice. See id. More than fourteen days have passed, and Plaintiff has failed 

to pay the filing fee. Because Plaintiff has failed to pay the filing fee, the Court will dismiss this 

case.

Additionally, the Magistrate Judge issued a Findings and Recommendation on July 28, 

2015 (Doc. No. 21), and on July 27, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion to appoint counsel (Doc. No. 

20). Because the Court is dismissing this case for failing to pay the filing fee, the Court will 

decline to adopt the Findings and Recommendation and deny Plaintiff’s motion to appoint 

counsel.
