Civil Action No. 3:15CV231

SANDRA THACKER, et aL,
Defendants.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

By Memorandum Order entered on April 24, 2015, the Court conditionally docketed

Plaintiffs action. At that time, the Court directed Plaintiffto 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 the above 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 Court's order to return 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 action. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). Plaintiff's 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 accompany this Memorandum Opinion.
