1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 GUILLERMO TRUJILLO CRUZ, No. 1:20-cv-01073-DAD-BAM (PC) 12 Plaintiff, 13 v. ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR RESPONSE AS MOOT AND DISMISSING 14 HUERTA, et al., ACTION WITHOUT PREJUDICE 15 Defendants. (Doc. Nos. 15, 16) 16 17 18 Plaintiff Guillermo Trujillo Cruz is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights 19 action pursuant to
42 U.S.C. § 1983. The matter was referred to a United States Magistrate Judge 20 pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B) and Local Rule 302. 21 On August 28, 2020, the assigned magistrate judge issued findings and recommendations 22 recommending that plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma pauperis be denied pursuant to 28
23 U.S.C. § 1915(g) and that plaintiff be required to pay the filing fee in full to proceed with this 24 action. (Doc. No. 6.) Following the granting of an extension of time to do so, plaintiff filed his 25 objections on September 21, 2020. (Doc. No. 13.) On March 12, 2021, the undersigned issued 26 an order adopting the findings and recommendations in full and ordering plaintiff to pay the 27 $402.00 filing fee in full within thirty (30) days. (Doc. No. 15.) In that order, plaintiff was 28 ///// 1 | warned that his failure to pay the filing fee within the specified time would result in dismissal of 2 | this action. Cd. at 3.) 3 On March 24, 2021, plaintiff filed a motion for a response to Doc. Nos. 4, 6, and 10. 4 | (Doc. No. 16.) The motion is essentially a restatement of plaintiffs previously filed objections to 5 | the magistrate judge’s findings and recommendations. (/d.) Based on a review of the motion and 6 | plaintiff's continued insistence that he be permitted to proceed in forma pauperis, it is apparent 7 | that he does not intend to pay the filing fee, and the deadline for plaintiff to do so has expired. In 8 | addition, the court has already addressed all of the documents referenced in the motion. 9 Because plaintiff has failed to obey the court’s orders and pay the appropriate filing fee, 10 | this case cannot proceed. This matter will be dismissed. See Ferdik v. Bonzelet,
963 F.2d 1258, 11 | 1260-61 (9th Cir. 1992). 12 Accordingly, 13 1. Plaintiff's motion for response to Doc. Nos. 4, 6, 10 (Doc. No. 16) is denied as 14 moot; and 15 2. This action is dismissed without prejudice due to plaintiff's failure to comply with 16 the court’s orders and his failure to pay the filing fee. 17 | IT IS SO ORDERED. a - | Dated: _May 10, 2021 Yel A Yara 19 UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
