No. 4:17-CV-2902 JMB

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

Before the Court is plaintiff's motion for reconsideration of the dismissal of this action.
Plaintiff's action was dismissed on February 5, 2018, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil 41(b) for
plaintiff's failure to sign and return a CJA 23 Financial Affidavit. As an exhibit to his motion for
reconsideration of the dismissal, plaintiff has attached a signed financial affidavit, as well as an
amended complaint.

The Court will therefore grant plaintiff's motion.

The Clerk will be

instructed to reopen the present matter and file plaintiff's financial affidavit and his amended
complaint. Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis, however, will be denied, as plaintiff
has sufficient funds to pay the full filing fee.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff's motion for reconsideration of the dismissal

of this action [Doc. #7] is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall REOPEN this action and

file the attachments to plaintiff's motion for reconsideration, including plaintiff's signed
financial affidavit and plaintiff's amended complaint.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiffs motion to proceed in forma pauperis [Doc.
#2] is DENIED. Upon consideration of the information in plaintiffs financial affidavit, the
Court finds that plaintiff has the financial means to pay the filing fee.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall pay the full filing fee of $400.00 !!.Q
later than May 26, 2018.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff fails to pay the filing fee as ordered, this
case shall be dismissed without prejudice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that after payment of the filing fee, plaintiff will be
responsible for service ~recess of the complaint as to all named defendants in this matter.
