plaintiff until June 10, 2009 to pay the full $350 filing fee in order to continue with the case. Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee, and the clerk of court closed the file on June 17, 2009. Since that time, plaintiff has filed two submissions, consisting of newer allegations and documents detailing incidents involving plaintiff that took place in the Sauk County jail. Plaintiff is apparently unaware that this case is closed, and that payment of the $350 filing fee is a prerequisite to the case being reopened. Plaintiff should be aware that his repeated attempts to file new allegations in a closed case without paying the filing fee waste judicial resources. In an effort to avoid further waste of these resources, until plaintiff pays the $350 filing fee, any materials he submits in this case that appear to supplement his complaint will be placed in a miscellaneous file and given no consideration. Entered this 6th day of July, 2009. BY THE COURT:
