Soete v. Clucas

Filing 6

ORDER DISMISSING CASE. Signed by Judge Dana L. Christensen on 5/8/2024. (ASG)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MONTANA
MISSOULA DIVISION
SHELDON SOETE,

CV 24–15–M–DLC

Plaintiff,
vs.

ORDER

MATTHEW CLUCAS,
Defendant.

On January 30, 2024, the Court denied Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in
forma pauperis and ordered Plaintiff to pay the filing fee if he wanted to proceed
with this action. (Doc. 5 at 2.) District of Montana Local Rule 3.1(a)(2) provides
that “unless the originating document is a petition for writ of habeas corpus,
payment of the full amount of the filing fee or a motion to proceed in forma
pauperis” is required. Plaintiff has not paid the required filing fee and has
therefore not met the requirements to file a new case.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall close this file.
DATED this 8th day of May, 2024.
