No. 3:11-0450
Judge Campbell
O R D E R
The Court has before it a pro se civil complaint (Docket Entry
No.1) under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and an application to proceed in forma
pauperis (Docket Entry No.2).
This action is being brought by Chris Sevier, a resident of
Nashville; his minor son, John Sevier; and Severe Records LLC. Only
individual persons, and not artificial entities, such as Severe
Records LLC, may proceed in forma pauperis. Rowland v. California
Mens Colony, Unit II Mens’ Advisory Council, 506 U.S. 194,201-04
(1993). Therefore, the plaintiffs’ joint application to proceed in
forma pauperis is DENIED.
The Court hereby GRANTS the plaintiffs thirty (30) days from
the date of entry of this order on the docket in which to pay the
full
filing
fee
of
three
hundred
fifty
dollars
($350).
The
plaintiffs are forewarned that, should they fail to comply with
these
instructions
in
a
timely
manner,
this
action
will
be
dismissed for failure to comply and for want of prosecution. Rule
41(b),
Fed.R.Civ.P.;
Sperow
v.
Melvin,
153
F.3d
780,781
(7th
Cir.1998).
Also before the Court is the plaintiffs’ Motion to Consolidate
(Docket Entry No.6). Until the question of the filing fee has been
resolved, the plaintiffs’ Motion is premature. For that reason, the
Motion to Consolidate is hereby DENIED.
It is so ORDERED.
