ORDER OF DISMISSAL
YOUNG, D.J.

June 8, 2015

Steve Pete was a named plaintiff in Stote v. UMass
Correctional Health Care, C.A. No. 13-10267-NMG, a civil rights
action filed by MCI Norfolk inmate John E. Stote in which he and
over one hundred other prisoners claimed that medical care at MCI
Norfolk was inadequate.
In an order dated June 25, 2014, the Court ordered that the
claims of each plaintiff be severed and that a separate case be
opened up for each individual plaintiff.

See id. (D. 20).

The

order directed each plaintiff who wanted to prosecute his own
claims to pay the $400 filing fee or file an Application to
Proceed in District Court Without Prepaying Fees or Costs within
sixty days and that the failure to pay the fee or seek leave to
proceed without payment of the fee may result in dismissal of the
individual action without prejudice.

The Clerk mailed a copy of

Judge Gorton’s order and the form Application to Pete in June
2014.
The sixty-day period has expired without any response from

Pete.

The documents the Clerk mailed to him were not returned as

undeliverable.

The Court therefore assumes that the plaintiff

received the documents previously sent to him and has chosen not
to prosecute this action.
Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
filing fee shall be assessed.

This order is a final order of

dismissal.
SO ORDERED.
