CASE NO. 3:14-CV-75-MSH
Social Security Appeal

ORDER
On August 11, 2014, Plaintiff filed a Complaint (ECF No. 1) seeking review of the
Social Security Commissioner’s denial of Plaintiff’s request for Disability Insurance
Benefits and Supplemental Security Income.

See 42 U.S.C. § 405(g); 42 U.S.C. §

1383(c). Along therewith, Plaintiff filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis
(IFP) and affidavit in support. (ECF No. 2.) Plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed IFP
was denied the same day and Plaintiff was directed to pay the filing fee within fourteen
days or “her complaint will be dismissed.” (Order 3, Aug. 11, 2014, ECF No. 5.)
Consequently, Plaintiff had until Monday, August 25, 2014 within which to pay her filing
fee.
Plaintiff, who is represented by counsel, has failed to comply with the Court’s
Order and has not paid the filing fee as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a)-(b). Plaintiff’s

Complaint is therefore dismissed without prejudice for failure to pay the filing fee and for
failure to comply with the Court’s August 11 Order.1
SO ORDERED, this 2nd day of September, 2014.
