TIMOTHY RAY WATKINS VERSUS L. AUGUSTINE, ET AL.

CIVIL ACTION NO. 09-1731 JUDGE ROBERT G. JAMES MAG. JUDGE KAREN L. HAYES MEMORANDUM ORDER

On October 9, 2009, the Court issued an Order [Doc. No. 5] detailing the history ofPetitioner Timothy Ray Watkins' filings, denying his motion to proceed in forma pauperis, and ordering him to pay the full filing fee of $350.00 within twenty (20) days of the date of the Order. On October 27, 2009, the Clerk of Court received for filing a Motion to Transfer Case [Doe. No. 7] submitted by Petitioner. In his motion, Petitioner also indicated that he was seeking injunctive relief; therefore, the Clerk of Court filed his motion separately [Doc. No. 6] as a motion for temporary restraining order. In his filing, Petitioner contends that his case should be transferred "do [sic] to legal problems to plaintiff James Jones, #108280 Cajun-2-C-l is pro se and in forma pauperis. Class Action Suite [sic]." [Doe. No. 6]. The Court finds that Petitioner has failed to comply with the Court's October 9, 2009 Order by paying his filing fee, and he has not alleged that he is "under imminent danger of serious physical injury." 28 U.S.C.
