ROBERT CHARLES JONES,
v.

Case No. 3:23-cv-00343-MMD-CSD
Plaintiff,

ORDER

PERRY RUSSELL, et al.,
Defendants.

On October 4, 2023, the Court denied Plaintiff’s application to proceed in forma

10

pauperis (“IFP”) for an inmate as moot and gave him until November 3, 2023, to either

11

pay the full $402 filing fee or file an IFP application for a non-inmate. (ECF No. 6 at 13).

12

That deadline expired and Plaintiff has not paid the filing fee, filed an IFP application for

13

a non-inmate, or otherwise responded. The Court finds that good cause exists to grant

14

Plaintiff a final extension of time to either pay the filing fee or apply for pauper status.

15
16

It is therefore ordered that Plaintiff has until December 15, 2023, to either pay the
full $402 filing fee for this action or file a complete IFP application for a non-inmate.

17

If Plaintiff does not either pay the filing fee or properly apply for pauper status by

18

December 15, 2023, this action will be subject to dismissal without prejudice. Dismissal

19

without prejudice allows Plaintiff to refile his case with the Court, under a new case

20

number, when he can either pay the filing fee or apply for in forma pauperis status.

21

The Clerk of the Court is directed to resend Plaintiff Robert Jones courtesy copies

22

of the form application to proceed in forma pauperis for a non-inmate and instructions for

23

the same.

24

DATED THIS 15th day of November 2023.
