MEMORANDUM
AND ORDER
This matter is before the court on its own motion. On March 22, 2012, Plaintiff
filed his Complaint in this matter along with a Motion for Leave to Proceed in Forma
Pauperis (“IFP”). (Filing Nos. 1 and 2.) On May 31, 2012, the court granted
Plaintiff’s IFP Motion and assessed an initial partial filing fee pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(b)(1). (Filing No. 8.) In doing so, the court warned Plaintiff that his case
would be subject to dismissal if he failed to pay the initial partial filing fee by July
2, 2012. (Id.)
The July 2, 2012, deadline has passed and Plaintiff has not paid the initial
partial filing fee in this matter. (See Docket Sheet.) Therefore, Plaintiff’s case is
dismissed for failing to comply with the court’s May 31, 2012, Memorandum and
Order. See Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 41(b); see also Conley v. Holden, No. 03-3908, 2004
WL 2202452, at *1 (8th Cir. Sept. 21, 2004) (affirming district court’s dismissal of
inmate’s case for failing to pay the assessed initial partial filing fee).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:
1.
Plaintiff’s Complaint (filing no. 1) is dismissed without prejudice
because Plaintiff failed to comply with this court’s orders.
2.
A separate judgment will be entered in accordance with this
Memorandum and Order.
DATED this 18th day of July, 2012.
BY THE COURT:
s/ Joseph F. Bataillon
United States District Judge
