v.

CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:11CV-241-C

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION et al.

DEFENDANTS

MEMORANDUM OPINION
By order entered May 23, 2011, the court denied the plaintiff’s application to
proceed without prepayment of fees and directed payment of the $350 filing fee
within 30 days. The court warned the plaintiff that failure to pay the filing fee
within the time allowed would result in dismissal of the action for failure to
prosecute.
The 30 days in which to comply have passed, and the court’s records reveal
that the plaintiff has failed to pay the filing fee. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
41(b) permits the Court to dismiss the action “[i]f the plaintiff fails to prosecute or
to comply with these rules or a court order.” Accordingly, by separate order, the
court will dismiss the action under Rule 41(b).
The clerk of court is DIRECTED to serve a copy of this memorandum opinion
and the accompanying order on the plaintiff.
