Order to Show Cause
The plaintiff was assessed an initial partial filing fee of Fourteen Dollars and Seventy Cents
($14.70). He was given a period of time to pay this sum to the Clerk of the Court. This time has
passed without payment or explanation. This amount is overdue and it is not unusual for a case to
be dismissed when the plaintiff fails to pay the filing fee as directed. See Bates v. Thompson, 234
F.3d 1272 (7th Cir. 2000) (discussing dismissal of action for failure to pay filing fee).
Accordingly, the plaintiff shall have though December 16, 2016, in which to either pay
the initial partial filing fee or to show cause why this action should not be dismissed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
