UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS DA LIN HUANG Plaintiff, CIVIL ACTION NO. 14-12768-IT v. UMASS CORRECTIONAL HEALTH CARE, et al., Defendants. ORDER Plaintiff Da Lin Huang originally filed a joint compliant that was part of a multi-plaintiff civil rights action. See Stote, et al. v. UMASS Correctional Health Care, et al., C.A. No. 13-10267-NMG (the “2013 action”). The 2013 action was initiated by MCI Norfolk inmate John E. Stote concerning alleged inadequate medical care at MCI Norfolk. On June 25, 2014, the judge assigned to the 2013 action severed the individual prisoner claims into separate cases. See No. 13-10267-NMG, 06/25/2014 Memorandum and Order (the "June Order), Docket #20. The June Order directed each plaintiff who wished to prosecute his own claims to pay the $400 fling fee or file an Application to Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs (also referred to as motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis) within sixty days and that failure to pay the fee or seek leave to proceed without prepayment of the fee may result in dismissal of the individual action without prejudice. Pursuant to the directives of the June Order, the Clerk opened a new case for Huang. See Docket, 14-12768-IT. The Order was mailed to Huang on June 30, 2014. Id. Huang has not responded to the Court’s order and the time to do so has expired. The documents sent to him were not returned to the Court as undeliverable and a search of the on-line Victim Information & Notification Everyday (VineLink) homepage reveals that Mr. Huang is still incarcerated at MCI Norfolk. See VineLink Offender Locator, http://www.vinelink.com (last visited Sept. 17, 2014). For the foregoing reasons, it is hereby ORDERED this action is DISMISSED without prejudice. SO ORDERED. September 29, 2014 DATE /s Indira Talwani INDIRA TALWANI UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 2
