Plaintiff,
v.
MIDDLESEX COUNTY,
Defendant.

C.A. No. 17-12187-PBS

ORDER
January 8,2017
Saris, C.J.
For the reasons stated below, the Court orders that this
action be dismissed.
Plaintiff Robert Bailey, who is a prisoner, filed a
complaint on November 3, 2017.

The complaint was accompanied by

a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis.

On November 7,

2017, Magistrate Judge M. Page Kelley entered an order denying
the motion without prejudice because Bailey has failed to submit
the six-month prison account statement required under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(a)(2).

Judge Kelley directed Bailey either to pay the

filing fee or to file a renewed motion for leave to proceed in
forma pauperis with the six-month prison account statement.

She

warned him that failure to comply with the directive by November
29, 2017 could result in dismissal of the action.

The deadline for complying with Judge Kelley’s November 7,
2017 order has passed without any response from the plaintiff.
Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for
failure to pay the filing fee.

SO ORDERED.
