That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. On October 6, 2021, Plaintiff filed a letter informing the Court that Senator Schumer told her that her dogs are being starved and then shot, and that the National Security Agency told her that Defendant is using a torture sheet prepared by John Roberts, with the starving idea coming from a sheriff’s deputy.

Plaintiff ends her letter with the following sentence, “I pay no fees for this under the law,” but Plaintiff has not filed an IFP application or paid the fees, as directed by the Court’s October 4, 2021 order.
