IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MONTANA
MISSOULA DIVISION
BARBARA DUTRO,

Cause No. CV 11-00140-M-DWM-JCL

Plaintiff,
ORDER TO CLOSE CASE
vs.
unknown defendants,
Defendants.
Plaintiff Barbara Dutro, proceeding without counsel, submitted a document
which was liberally construed as a complaint. Dutro did not submit a motion to
proceed in forma pauperis and did not pay the filing fee for this matter.
On October 18, 2011, this Court issued an order advising Plaintiff that in
order to institute a civil action in federal court she must either pay a filing fee of
$350.00 as required by 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a) or file a motion to proceed in forma
pauperis under 28 U.S.C. § 1915. Plaintiff was given until November 18, 2011 to
pay the statutory filing fee of $350.00 or submit a motion to proceed in forma
pauperis. Plaintiff did not comply.
No case has been initiated as there is no filing fee or motion to proceed in

forma pauperis. Plaintiff’s Complaint has not been filed, it was simply lodged with
the Court.
ACCORDINGLY, the Clerk of Court is directed to close this matter.

DATED this 29th day of November, 2011.
