Jones v. Beetham Tran Law Firm

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE 10 CORTEZ DAUNDRE JONES, CASE NO. C23-1224JLR 11 Plaintiff, ORDER v. BEETHAM TRAN LAW FIRM, Defendant.

15 Before the court is pro se Plaintiff Cortez Daundre Jones’s objections to Magistrate Judge S. Kate Vaughan’s report and recommendation recommending that the court deny Mr. Jones’s motion for leave to in forma pauperis (“IFP”). (Obj. (Dkt. # 6); see IFP Mot. (Dkt. # 1); R&R (Dkt. # 4).) Plaintiffs are not entitled to submit written objections to a Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation that IFP status should be denied. Minetti v. Port of Seattle, 152 F.3d 1113, 1114 (9th Cir. 1998). Accordingly, the court adopted Magistrate Judge Vaughan’s report and recommendation without first affording Mr. Jones an opportunity to object to her report and recommendation. (8/16/23 Order (Dkt. # 5).) The court therefore DIRECTS the Clerk to strike Mr. Jones’s objections to Magistrate Judge Vaughan’s report and recommendation (Dkt. # 6). The court reminds Mr. Jones that his case will be dismissed if he fails to pay the filing fee by September 15, 2023. (See 8/16/23 Order at 1.)
