Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
(Dismissing Civil Rights Action Without Prejudice)
By Memorandum Order entered on November 7, 2013, the Court conditionally
docketed Plaintiffs action. The Court directed Plaintiff to return his informa pauperis
affidavit and 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.
Plaintiff has not complied with the order of this Court. Plaintiff failed to return the in
forma pauperis affidavit and 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. § 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.
An appropriate Order shall issue.
