UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 ISRAEL IGLESIAS, Case No. 1:19-cv-00836-DAD-JDP

Plaintiff, FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

THAT CASE BE DISMISSED FOR FAILURE

v. TO PROSECUTE AND FAILURE TO

COMPLY WITH A COURT ORDER

JOHN M. DOWBACK, et al.,

Defendants. OBJECTIONS DUE IN FOURTEEN DAYS

16 Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has not paid the $400.00 filing fee or applied to proceed in forma pauperis. On August 21, 2019, I ordered plaintiff to do so, see ECF No. 7, but have received no response. The court may dismiss a case for plaintiff’s failure to prosecute or failure to comply with a court order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); Hells Canyon Pres. Council v. U.S. Forest Serv., 403 F.3d 683, 689 (9th Cir. 2005). Involuntary dismissal is a harsh penalty, but a court has a duty to resolve disputes expeditiously. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 1; Pagtalunan v. Galaza,…
