Civil Action No. 3:17-CV-1034
(JUDGE NEALON)

ORDER
On June 13, 2017, the above-captioned civil rights action was transferred from United
States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania to the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. (Doc. 2).
Following review, this action was received without an application to proceed in forma
pauperis and Authorization form.
Accordingly, an Administrative Order issued in this case which informed the plaintiff that
this action would not proceed unless the Plaintiff, within thirty (30) days of the date of the
Administrative Order, either: (1) tendered to the “Clerk, U.S. District Court” payment in the
amount of $400.00, which represented a statutory filing fee in the amount of $350.00 and a
$50.00 Administrative Fee1; or (2) filed a properly completed and signed application to
proceed in forma pauperis and an authorization form. An application to proceed in forma
pauperis and an authorization form were enclosed. Plaintiff was advised that failure to comply
with the terms of the Administrative Order within thirty (30) days would cause this case to be
dismissed without prejudice. (Doc.8).

1. As of May 1, 2013, plaintiffs who submit the $350.00 statutory filing fee in
full will also be assessed a $50.00 administrative fee. The $50.00 filing fee does
not apply to persons granted in forma pauperis status under 28 U.S.C. §1915.
Therefore, if an in forma pauperis status is granted, the plaintiff will be
responsible to pay $350.00. However, if an in forma pauperis status is denied,
the plaintiff will be required to pay $400.00.

More than thirty (30) days have elapsed and the Plaintiff has neither made an
appropriate submission, nor has he requested an additional extension of time in which to pay
the filing fee or to submit the appropriate financial forms.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT this action is dismissed without prejudice, and
the Clerk of Court shall close this file.
