GENERAL DOCKET
No.3:14-mc-0734
Judge Trauger

O R D E R
The plaintiff is an inmate at the South Central Correctional
Center in Clifton, Tennessee. He has filed a Notice of Appeal
(Docket Entry No.15) without paying the requisite filing fee or
submitting an application to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis.
The plaintiff has previously filed at least six actions in
federal court that were dismissed for being either frivolous or for
failure to state a claim. See Docket Entry No.8. He has not,
however, shown that he is in imminent danger of serious physical
harm. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). Therefore, the plaintiff can not pursue
his appeal as a pauper.
Accordingly, the plaintiff is hereby GRANTED thirty (30) days
from the date of entry of this order on the docket in which to
remit the full appellate filing fee of five hundred five dollars
($505.00).

1

The plaintiff is forewarned that, should he fail to comply
with the instructions of the Court, the full amount of the filing
fee will be assessed against him and his appeal may be dismissed
for want of prosecution. In re Alea, 286 F.3d 378, 382 (6th Cir.
2002).
The Clerk is instructed to forward a copy of this order to the
Clerk for the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
It is so ORDERED.
