CLERK, U.S. DISTRICT COURT
RICHMOND. VA

WADE STROUD,

Plaintiff,

Civil Action No. 3:14CV78
v.

UNILEVER UNITED STATES, INC.,
Defendant.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

By Memorandum Order entered on March 19, 2014, the Court
conditionally docketed the action. Wade Stroud requested leave
to proceed in forma pauperis. By Memorandum Order entered on

April 18, 2014, the Court directed Stroud to pay an initial
partial filing fee of $12.28 or state under penalty of perjury
that he did not have sufficient assets to pay such a fee within
eleven (11) days of the date of entry thereof. See 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(b)(1).
Stroud has neither paid the initial partial
filing fee nor averred that he cannot pay such a fee.
Therefore, Stroud is not entitled to proceed in forma pauperis.
Stroud's disregard of the Court's directives warrants dismissal
of the action.
Accordingly, the action will be dismissed
without prejudice.

Should Stroud desire to appeal, a written notice of appeal

must be filed with the Clerk of the Court within thirty (30)

days of the date of entry hereof.

Failure to file a notice of

appeal.

The ClerX is directed to send a copy of the Memoranda,
Opinion to Stroud.
