Plaintiff,
v.
ORDER
SECOND JUDICIAL COURT, et al.,
Defendants.
On October 13, 2016, Plaintiff Ray Dean Wilson filed a document which
was liberally construed as a civil rights complaint but he did not pay the filing fee
or file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. On October 17, 2016, Judge
Johnston issued an Order requiring Wilson to either pay the filing fee or submit a
motion to proceed in forma pauperis on or before November 4, 2016. (Doc. 3.)
Wilson has not complied.
In order to institute a civil action in federal court, a plaintiff must either pay
a filing fee of $400.00 as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a) or file a motion to
proceed in forma pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Here, no case has been
initiated because Wilson has submitted neither the filing fee nor a motion to
proceed in forma pauperis. Wilson's Complaint has not been filed, it was simply
1
lodged with the Court.
ACCORDINGLY, the Clerk of Court is directed to close this matter.
DATED this ~day ofNovember, 2016.
