Plaintiff,
CASE NO. 2:14-CV-12765
HONORABLE SEAN F. COX

v.
STATE OF MICHIGAN, et al.,
Defendants.
_____________________________________/

OPINION AND ORDER OF DISMISSAL
The Court has before it Plaintiff Rodrick Jones’s pro se civil rights complaint brought
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff, an inmate at the Woodland Correctional Facility in
Whitmore Lake, Livingston County, Michigan, alleges that he is being forcefully gassed and/or
injected with medication. At the time he filed his complaint, Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee or
submit a proper application to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. §
1915(a)(2). Consequently, the Court issued a deficiency order requiring Plaintiff to either pay the
filing fee or submit a properly completed in forma pauperis application within 30 days – by August
20, 2014. The order provided that if Plaintiff did not do so, his case would be dismissed. Plaintiff
has failed to correct the filing fee/application deficiency within the allotted time. Accordingly, the
Court DISMISSES WITHOUT PREJUDICE his complaint. This case is closed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 11, 2014
