Disposition notice
On October 25, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California dismissed this pro se state prisoner civil rights action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 without prejudice because plaintiff Michael Bruce Anthony McPherson failed to pay the $405 filing fee within thirty days as required by a September 8, 2026 order (Doc. 12), which had warned that nonpayment would result in dismissal without further notice. Citing Saddozai v. Davis, 35 F.4th 705, 709 (9th Cir. 2022), the court stated the action could not proceed without payment, dismissed the case without prejudice, and directed the Clerk to terminate any pending motions and close the case. The order was filed on October 26, 2026 and, per the docket entry, was signed by District Judge Kirk E. Sherriff on October 25, 2026.
