Opinion
Case No. 12-CV-12440-DT
07-26-2012
In re: PHILIP ELLISON
ORDER OF DISMISSAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE
On June 6, 2012, the court ordered Plaintiff Philip Ellison to pay the statutory civil case filing fee or to file a application to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff did neither of these options, and instead filed a "Notice," expressing "confusion" over the June 6 order and arguing the court has no jurisdiction to entertain this action. Though Plaintiff takes issue with the court's order, he states that there is "no controversy for the court to decide." It is thus clear that Plaintiff does not seek to maintain this action and, additionally, he has failed to comply with the requirements of the June 6, 2012 order. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
