UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
JEFFREY R. LeBLANC,
Plaintiff,
v.
Case No. 1:15-cv-170
Honorable Paul L. Maloney
JEROME W. ZIMMER, Jr.,
Defendant.
____________________________________/
ORDER DENYING LEAVE TO PROCEED
IN FORMA PAUPERIS ON APPEAL
This is a civil rights action brought by a state prisoner pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On
March 3, 2015, the Court entered an opinion and order (docket ##3, 4) denying Plaintiff leave to proceed
in forma pauperis because he has “three strikes” within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Plaintiff was
ordered to pay the full civil action filing fee within 28 days. Plaintiff failed to pay the filing fee in the required
time period, and the Court dismissed the action on April 27, 2015 (docket ##6, 7). In the dismissal, the
Court warned Plaintiff that should he file a notice of appeal, he would be required to pay the $505.00 filing
fee in a lump sum, because he is prohibited from proceeding in forma pauperis on appeal by § 1915(g).
Plaintiff has filed a notice of appeal, but he has failed to submit the $505.00 filing fee for
an appeal. As outlined in the Court’s opinion and order denying him pauper status based on § 1915(g),
Plaintiff is barred from proceeding in forma pauperis on this appeal. Plaintiff has twenty-eight (28) days
from the date of entry of this order to pay the entire filing fee for appealing a civil action, which is $505.00,
to the Clerk of this Court. Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this order may result in dismissal of this appeal
without prejudice by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
