_________________________________/
ORDER DISMISSING AMENDED COMPLAINT (ECF #3)
FOR FAILURE TO PAY FILING FEES
Plaintiff Melinda Martinez filed this action on January 31, 2017. (See ECF #1.) On
that same day, Martinez filed an application to proceed without prepaying fees or costs.
(See ECF #2.) On April 14, 2017, this Court entered an order in which it (1) denied the
application to proceed without prepaying fees or costs and (2) ordered that Martinez pay
the filing fee by May 15, 2017. (See ECF #11.) The order explained that “[f]ailure to pay
the filing fee by this deadline may result in dismissal of the complaint.” (Id.) Martinez has
failed to pay the filing fee.
Accordingly, the Court DISMISSES WITHOUT PREJUDICE the Amended
Complaint.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
