ALEXANDER TURNER, Plaintiff, v. ALYSSA TURNER, NICOLAS KRUEGER, and STEPHANIE PUESTOW, Defendants.
ORDER
ANDREW R. WISEMAN, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
Plaintiff Alexander Turner has filed a proposed civil complaint. Plaintiff seeks to commence this lawsuit without prepaying the filing fee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915 and has filed an affidavit of indigency in support of the request.
The court has considered plaintiff's income, assets, obligations, and dependents set forth in the affidavit of indigency, and finds that plaintiff's financial situation does not warrant a determination of indigency. Accordingly, plaintiff must prepay the $405 fee for commencing this action.
Effective December 1, 2023, the total fee for filing a civil action is $405 (the $350 statutory fee plus the $55 miscellaneous administrative fee).
ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff Alexander Turner's petition for leave to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee is DENIED. Plaintiff must pay the $405 fee no later than January 19, 2024. If plaintiff fails to do so, this action may be dismissed without prejudice to plaintiff filing the case at a later date.
