Case No. 11-cv-0332-MJR

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
REAGAN, District Judge:
This action came before the Court on Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma
pauperis (Doc. 2). On May 17, 2012, Plaintiff was ordered to pay the $350.00 filing fee
in this case not later than May 31, 2012 (Doc. 29). This date has since passed and
Plaintiff has not tendered the filing fee in full to this Court. As a result, IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that this action is DISMISSED without prejudice for
failure to comply with an order of this Court. Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b); see generally Ladien
v. Astrachan, 128 F.3d 1051 (7th Cir. 1997); Johnson v. Kamminga, 34 F.3d 466 (7th
Cir. 1994). Plaintiff’s obligation to pay the filing fee for this action was incurred at the
time the action was filed, thus the filing fee of $350 remains due and payable. See 28
U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1); Lucien v. Jockisch, 133 F.3d 464, 467 (7th Cir. 1998). All pending
motions are DENIED as moot. The Clerk is DIRECTED to close this case.
