CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:15-CV-98-TBR

RICHARD IDEN et al.

DEFENDANTS
MEMORANDUM OPINION

By Order entered June 24, 2015, the Court ordered Plaintiff to either pay the filing fee or
submit a non-prisoner application to proceed without prepayment of fees within 30 days. The
Court warned Plaintiff that failure to comply with the Order within the 30-day period would
result in dismissal of the action.
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).
