ORDER

The plaintiff, Thomas H. L. Barfell, who is proceeding pro se, filed a civil
rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and has requested leave to proceed in forma
pauperis. Pursuant to the Prison Litigation Reform Act, the plaintiff is required to pay the
statutory filing fee of $350.00 for this action. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1).
By order dated March 18, 2013, the plaintiff was ordered to forward to the
Clerk of Court by April 8, 2013, the sum of $1.33 as an initial partial filing fee in this action.
The plaintiff was advised that, upon payment of this fee, the court would determine whether

the action can proceed in forma pauperis. To date the plaintiff has not paid this partial filing
fee. From this failure to pay the initial filing fee this court infers that the plaintiff no longer
wants to prosecute this action. Therefore, the court will dismiss this case without prejudice.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that this action be and hereby is
dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 15th day of April, 2013.
SO ORDERED,

HON. RUDOLPH T. RANDA
U. S. District Judge
