Civil Action No. 16-12271-LTS

DISMISSAL ORDER
January 12, 2017
SOROKIN, D.J.
In an order dated November 17, 2016 (#5), the Court ordered plaintiff Samuel Roy
Abram to pay the $400 filing fee within 35 days. The Court ruled that Abram was not eligible
for in forma pauperis status because (1) while a prisoner, he had on three or more prior
occasions, filed an action or appeal that was dismissed on the ground that it was frivolous, was
malicious, or failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted; and (2) he was not “under
imminent danger of serious physical injury.” 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). The Court warned Abram
that failure to timely pay the filing fee would result in dismissal of the action without prejudice.
The deadline for complying with the Court’s November 17, 2016 order has expired.
Abram has not paid the filing fee or submitted any document with the Court. 1 Accordingly, this
action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. This order is a final order of dismissal. No
separate order of dismissal will issue.
SO ORDERED.

The plaintiff indicated in a voicemail left with the Clerk that someone might tender the filing fee on his behalf. As
to this date, the fee has not been paid. Therefore, the case is closed.
