On February 16, 2017, the Court granted plaintiff’s request to proceed without prepayment of filing fees, and
ordered plaintiff to pay the initial partial filing fee of $5.00 within thirty days of that Order, and submit monthly
payments thereafter. (ECF No. 8). On April 19, 2017, the Court issued an Order to plaintiff to show cause
(“OSC”) why the $5.00 initial partial filing fee had not been received by the Court. (ECF No. 19).
On May 5, 2017, plaintiff filed a “Response to Court Order to Furnish Partial Payment . . .” in which he stated
in a declaration that he was unable to pay the $5.00 fee as he had no funds in his prison account or any other
account (“Response”). He also asked the Court to “waive this initial obligation . . . at this time.”
On May 8, 2017, the Court granted plaintiff an extension of time to pay his initial partial filing fee (i.e., to July
7, 2017). The $5.00 partial filing fee has not been received by the Court. No later than August 23, 2017,
plaintiff is ordered to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for failure to pay the required fee and
follow court orders. Receipt of the partial $5.00 filing fee by the Court on or before August 23, 2017, shall be
deemed compliance with this Order to Show Cause.
