FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA

DAVID C. THOMAS,
Plaintiff,
v.
Civil Action No. 3:11CV285
US MARINE CORPS,
Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
By Memorandum Order entered on May 18, 2011, the Court conditionally docketed
Plaintiffs civil action. At that time, the Court directed Plaintiff to submit a statement under oath
or penalty of perjury that:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Identifies the nature of the action;
States his belief that he is entitled to relief;
Avers that he is unable to prepay fees or give security therefor; and,
Includes a statement of the assets he possesses.
See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). The Court provided Plaintiff with an informa pauperis affidavit form
for this purpose.
Additionally, the Court directed Plaintiff to affirm his intention to pay the full filing fee by
signing and returning a consent to the collection of fees form. The Court warned Plaintiff that a
failure to comply with either of the above directives within thirty (30) days of the date of entry
thereof would result in summary dismissal of the action.
Plaintiffhas not complied with the orders ofthis Court. Plaintifffailed to return a completed
informa pauperis affidavit form and a consent to collection of fees form. As a result, he does not
qualify for informa pauperis status. Furthermore, he has not paid the statutory filing fee for the
instant complaint. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). Such actions demonstrate a wilful failure to prosecute.
See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Accordingly, this actionwill be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
It is so ORDERED.
