Order

On March 7, 2025, the Court ordered Plaintiff to pay the filing fee or file a fully complete application to proceed in forma pauperis by April 7, 2025. Docket No. 6 at 2. The Court warned that “if Plaintiff fails to timely comply with this order, this action will be subject to dismissal without prejudice.” Id. Notwithstanding that warning, Plaintiff did not comply. See Docket.

This case cannot proceed without Plaintiff either paying the filing fee or filing a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a); see also 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a). Having refused to do either in this case, Plaintiff‘s complaint is subject to dismissal. E.g., Desai v. Biden, 2021 WL 38169, at *1 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 5, 2021), adopted, 2021 WL 276236 (E.D. Cal. Jan. 27, 2021).

Accordingly, the Court DISMISSES this case without prejudice. The Clerk‘s Office is instructed to CLOSE this case.
