ORDER

pauperis (filing no. 8). Plaintiff is employed and makes approximately $3,500

associated with filing a claim in federal court. Therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that:
(1) Plaintiff Robert D. Pope, Jr.’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis (filing
no. 8) is denied.
(2) Plaintiff Robert D. Pope, Jr. shall pay the $400.00 filing fee within 30
days of the date of this order.
(3) Failure to comply with this Memorandum and Order will result in
Plaintiff Robert D. Pope, Jr. being dismissed from this matter without further notice.

(4) The Clerk of the court is directed to set a pro se case management
deadline in this matter with the following text: November 30, 2016: deadline for
Plaintiff Robert D. Pope, Jr. to pay $400.00 filing fee.
DATED this 31st day of October, 2016.
