Defendants.

ORDER DISMISSING CASE
______________________________________________________________________________
The plaintiff, a Wisconsin state prisoner who is representing himself, filed
a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. §1983, along with a motion for leave to
proceed without prepayment of the filing fee under 28 U.S.C. §1915. On May 8,
2018, the court denied the plaintiff’s motion to proceed without prepayment of
the filing fee because the plaintiff had three strikes. Dkt. No. 13. The court
ordered the plaintiff to pay the $400.00 civil case filing fee, in time for the court
to receive it on or before the end of the day on May 22, 2018, if he wanted to
proceed with the case. Id. at 4. The court warned the plaintiff that if it did not
receive the full $400 fee by the end of the day on May 22, 2018, it would
dismiss the case without further notice or hearing on the next business day. Id.
The May 22, 2018 deadline has passed and the court has not received
any money from the plaintiff. The court will dismiss the case without prejudice.
