MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on the complaint in
this action filed by 24 prisoner plaintiffs (Filing No. 1).
Only
one of the named plaintiffs, Lisa Sexton, has filed a Motion for
Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis.
No other plaintiff has filed
a Motion for Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis or paid the
Court’s $400 filing and administrative fees.
(See Docket Sheet.)
In the United States District Court for the District of
Nebraska, joinder of prisoner plaintiffs is allowed; however,
each prisoner plaintiff must pay a separate filing fee,
notwithstanding the collection of multiple fees per case.
See
Cole v. Houston, No. 4:06CV3314, 2007 WL 1309821 (D. Neb. March
30, 2007).

the Court’s $400.00 filing and administrative fees:
Linda
Nelson, Britteney Baker, Carla Arndt, Michelle Duryea, JoHelen

Richardson, Erica J. Cochran, Diane R. Holbrook, Frances Beaver,
Sydney DeCafiano, Ashley Griffith, Tamara Evans, Elisa Seastrong,
Tyresha Hickerson, Christina Glass, Sharon Turnell, Shondra
McNally, Dinah Turrentine-Sims, Holland Lorensen, Tasha Ryan, and
Connie Torres.
Each of these plaintiffs must either tender the
$400.00 filing and administrative fees to the clerk of the court
or submit a request to proceed in forma pauperis which, if
granted, would allow her to pay the Court’s filing fee in
installments.
If plaintiffs choose to do the latter, the
enclosed pauper’s forms should be completed and returned to this
Court.
IT IS ORDERED:
1.
The following plaintiffs are directed to correct
the above-listed technical defects within 30 days of the date of
