MEMORANDUM OPINION
By Order entered March 7, 2013, this Court ordered Plaintiff to either pay the balance of
his filing fee or submit a completed non-prisoner application to proceed without prepayment of
fees. Plaintiff was warned that failure to comply would result in dismissal of his case.
More than 30 days have passed, and Plaintiff has failed to comply with the Court’s Order.
Courts have an inherent power “acting on their own initiative, to clear their calendars of cases
that have remained dormant because of the inaction or dilatoriness of the parties seeking relief.”
Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630 (1962). Therefore, by separate Order, the Court will
dismiss the instant action. See FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b) (governing involuntary dismissal).
