By Memorandum Order entered on March 8, 2013, the Courtconditionally
docketed Plaintiffs action. The Court directed Plaintiffto affirm his intention to pay the
full filing fee by signing and returning a consent to collection of fees form. The Court
warned Plaintiffthat a failure to comply with this directive within thirty (30) days of the
date of entry thereof would result in summary dismissal of the action.
Plaintiff has not complied with the order of this Court. Plaintiff failed to return the
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 action. See 28
U.S.C. ยง 1914(a). Such conduct demonstrates a willful failure to prosecute. See Fed. R.
Civ. P. 41(b). Accordingly, this action will be dismissed without prejudice.
The Clerk is DIRECTED to send a copy of this Memorandum Opinion to Plaintiff.
It is so ORDERED.
