ORDER AND FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS
ALLISON CLAIRE, Magistrate Judge.
On May 13, 2015, defendants filed a motion to compel plaintiff's attendance at his deposition, for sanctions, and to modify the scheduling order. ECF No. 23. On May 27, 2015, the court filed an order granting the motion to modify the scheduling order and ordering plaintiff to respond to the motion to compel and for sanctions within fourteen days. ECF No. 24. Plaintiff was also ordered to either pay the filing fee in full or submit a non-prisoner application to proceed in forma pauperis within thirty days. Id. He was cautioned that failure to comply with the order would result in a recommendation that the action be dismissed without prejudice. Id. The fourteen and thirty day time periods have passed and plaintiff has not responded to the court's order, filed an opposition to the motion to compel, paid the filing fee, or filed a non-prisoner application to proceed in forma pauperis.
Despite the fact that plaintiff has failed to respond to the motion to compel and for sanctions, the court will deny the motion and instead recommend that this action be dismissed because plaintiff has failed comply with this court's order to pay the filing fee or file a non-prisoner application to proceed in forma pauperis.1
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendants' motion to compel and for sanctions (ECF No. 23) is denied.
IT IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED that this action be dismissed without prejudice.
