(a). An action may proceed despite a plaintiff’s failure to 2 prepay the entire fee only if he is granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) 3 pursuant to

(a). See Andrews v. Cervantes,

(9th Cir. 4 2007); Rodriguez v. Cook,

(9th Cir. 1999). However, a plaintiff who 5 is a prisoner remains obligated to pay the entire filing fee in “increments,” see Williams v. 6 Paramo,

(9th Cir. 2015), regardless of whether the case is ultimately 7 dismissed, even if the plaintiff is granted IFP status. See

(b)(1) and (2); 8 Taylor v. Delatoore,

(9th Cir. 2002). 9 Plaintiff has not prepaid the $402 civil filing fee required by

(a) 10 and has not filed a motion to proceed IFP pursuant to

(a). Therefore, his 11 case cannot yet proceed. See
