JIMI SALGADO, Plaintiff, v. OSCAR LUCAS, et al., Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
M. Hannah Lauck United States District Judge
By Memorandum Order entered on April 19, 2023, the Court conditionally docketed Plaintiffs action. At that time, the Court directed Plaintiff to affirm his intention to pay the full filing fee by signing and returning a consent to the collection of fees form. The Court warned Plaintiff that a failure to comply with the above directive within thirty (30) days of the date of entry thereof would result in summary dismissal of the action.
Plaintiff has not complied with the Court's order to return a consent to collection of fees form. As a result, he does not qualify for in forma pauperis status. Furthermore, he has not paid the statutory filing fee for the instant action. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). Plaintiffs conduct demonstrates a willful failure to prosecute. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b). Accordingly, this action will be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
An appropriate Final Order shall accompany this Memorandum Opinion.
