H AR O LD W. ALLEN, P laintiff, v. S O C IA L SECURITY, D e fe n d a n t . M EM O RAN DU M 09-cv-753-bbc

O n June 1, 2010, I dismissed Harold W. Allen's complaint for his failure to prosecute because he failed to submit either the remainder of the filing fee or the additional inform ation he was to provide. Although plaintiff paid the remainder of the filing fee on June 3, 2010, he did not submit the additional information. Now plaintiff's wife has written a letter asking whether the $350 filing fee could be returned to them. Unfortunately, the m oney cannot be returned because it was cost of filing this lawsuit. However, plaintiff can m ove the court to reopen this case if he submits information showing that he received a final decision from the commissioner. Entered this 13th day of September, 2010.
