UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY AT LOUISVILLE GEORGE JONES v. TRACY GOINS PLAINTIFF CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:10-CV-P247-S DEFENDANT ORDER This Court denied Plaintiff's application to proceed without prepayment of fees due to the three-strikes provision in 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). The Court ordered that Plaintiff pay the $350 filing fee for this action within 30 days of entry of this Order and that failure to pay the filing fee will result in dismissal of the instant action. More than 30 days have passed since the Court entered its Order, and Plaintiff has not paid the filing fee. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the instant action is DISMISSED pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) for failure to comply with a prior Order of this Court and failure to prosecute. Plaintiff remains obligated to pay the filing fee in full notwithstanding his failure to respond to the prior Order of this Court. McGore v. Wrigglesworth, 114 F.3d 601, 605 (6th Cir. 1997) ("we conclude that by filing the complaint or notice of appeal, the prisoner waives any objection to the fee assessment by the district court") (emphasis added). There being no just reason for delay in its entry, this is a final Order. Leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals in forma pauperis is DENIED pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) because such an appeal would not be taken in good faith. Date: June 22, 2010 cc: Plaintiff, pro se 4411.009
