IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
HERSEL R. BRADLEY,
Plaintiff,

vs.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
LINCOLN POLICE DEPARTMENT,
Lancaster; BENJAMIN MILLER, Sgt,
Officer; PFLANZ, Officer - Investigator;
and TRAN, Officer,
Defendants.

This matter is before the court on its own motion. Plaintiff filed a Complaint
(Filing 1) on November 12, 2020. However, Plaintiff failed to include the $400.00
filing and administrative fees. Plaintiff has the choice of either submitting the
$400.00 filing and administrative fees to the clerk’s office or submitting a request to
proceed in forma pauperis.1 Failure to take either action within 30 days will result in
the court dismissing this case without further notice to Plaintiff.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:
1.
Plaintiff is directed to submit the $400.00 fees to the clerk’s office or
submit a request to proceed in forma pauperis within 30 days. Failure to take either
action will result in dismissal of this matter without further notice.

1

If Plaintiff is granted leave to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) in this
matter, he will be allowed to pay the court’s $350 filing fee in installments. See 28
U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1); In re Tyler, 110 F.3d 528, 529-30 (8th Cir. 1997). He would not be
subject to the $50.00 administrative fee assessed to non-IFP plaintiffs.
