Civil Action No. 20-11574-IT

ORDER
October 15, 2020
TALWANI, D.J.
For the reasons stated below, this action is dismissed without prejudice.
On August 17, 2020, pro se Plaintiff Mark C. Christenson filed a Complaint [#1] without
paying the $400 filing fee or moving to proceed without prepayment of the fee. On September
23, 2020, the court entered an Order [#3] directing Plaintiff to pay the filing fee or file a motion
for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The court stated therein that failure to comply with the
order within twenty-one days could result in dismissal of the action. The clerk mailed a copy of
the Order to Plaintiff at the Seattle, Washington address he had provided.
Plaintiff has not responded to the Order, and the time for doing so has expired. 1
Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to pay the filing fee.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
/s/ Indira Talwani
United States District Judge

On October 2, 2020, the copy of the Order that the clerk had sent to Plaintiff was returned to as
undeliverable. See [#4]. Because Plaintiff has not provided the clerk with a different address for
service, the Order is deemed delivered and properly served. See Local Rule 83.5.5 (D. Mass.).
