On August 18, 2020, an order issued requiring 23 Plaintiff to file a long form application to proceed without prepayment of fees or pay the filing 24 fee within twenty days. The deadline has passed and Plaintiff has not filed a long form 25 application to proceed without prepayment of fees, paid the filing fee in this action, or otherwise 26 responded to the August 18, 2020 order. 27 Local Rule 110 provides that “[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these Rules or with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all wow 4£:6U VV YEE MARE SEA MVE POO ee OY eve
