NO. 5:21-CV-00228-MTT-CHW

ORDER
Presently pending before the Court are the claims of Plaintiff Sean Crawley, a
prisoner currently incarcerated at the Macon State Prison in Oglethorpe, Georgia. In
response to the Court’s previous orders and instructions, Plaintiff filed a letter requesting
“an opportunity” to pay the initial partial filing fee of $56.00 as previously ordered. Pl.’s
Resp. 1, Nov. 3, 2021, ECF No. 6. The Court thus granted Plaintiff an additional fourteen
(14) days to submit his initial partial filing fee.
The time for compliance has passed, and the Court has not yet received Plaintiff’s
initial partial filing fee. Plaintiff did file a letter with the Court, however, stating that he
had “yet to receive a response” from the Court, that “the filing fee process” had not yet
“started,” and that he was “eager” to start paying the filing fee and to pursue his claims.
Pl.’s Resp. 1, Dec. 13, 2021, ECF No. 8. Because Plaintiff alleges that he did not receive
a copy of the Court’s previous order, the Court will provide Plaintiff with a second
extension of time to pay the Court’s initial partial filing fee of $56.00. Plaintiff shall have

an additional FOURTEEN (14) DAYS from the date of this Order to submit the initial
partial filing fee of $56.00.
The Court again notes that Plaintiff should have sufficient funds in his prison trust
fund account to pay this amount. As Plaintiff was previously advised, it is his responsibility
to pay the initial partial filing fee, and he should therefore make arrangements with the
appropriate prison official to ensure that the initial partial filing fee is paid in accordance
with the Court’s orders and instructions. If Plaintiff can no longer pay this filing fee, he
should submit a renewed motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis within
FOURTEEN (14) DAYS of the date of this Order explaining why he cannot now pay the
fee. Any renewed motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis must include an updated
copy of Plaintiff’s prison trust fund account information.
Plaintiff is again reminded of his obligation to notify the Court immediately in
writing of any change in his mailing address. Failure to fully and timely comply with
the Court’s orders and instructions may result in the dismissal of the Complaint.
There shall be no service of process until further order of the Court.
SO ORDERED, this 10th day of January, 2022.
