MEMORANDUM OPINION

(Dismissing Action Without Prejudice)

On March 22, 2018, the Court conditionally docketed Plaintiffs action. Plaintiff

requested leave to proceed informa pauperis. By Memorandum Order entered on May
10, 2018, the Court directed Plaintiff to pay an initial partial filing fee of$11.66 or state

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

An appropriate Order shall accompany this Memorandum Opinion.
