Civil Action No. 3:15CV331

BRENT SCOTT BAILEY, Plaintiff, v. BARAK OBAMA, et al., Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
By Memorandum Order entered on June 15, 2015, the Court conditionally docketed Plaintiff's civil action. At that time, the Court directed Plaintiff to submit a statement under oath or penalty of perjury that:
(A) Identifies the nature of the action;See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(1). The Court provided Plaintiff with an i n forma pauperis affidavit form for this purpose.
(B) States his belief that he is entitled to relief;
(C) Avers that he is unable to prepay fees or give security therefor; and,
(D) Includes a statement of the assets he possesses.
Additionally, the Court directed Plaintiff to affirm his intention to pay the full filing fee by signing and returning a consent to collection of fees form. The Court warned Plaintiff that a failure to comply with either of the above directives within thirty (30) days of the date of entry thereof would result in summary dismissal of the action.
Plaintiff has not complied with the orders of this Court. Plaintiff failed to return a completed in forma pauperis affidavit form and 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). Such conduct demonstrates a willful failure to prosecute. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Accordingly, this action will be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Plaintiff's outstanding motions (ECF Nos. 2-7, 10-12) will be DENIED.
An appropriate Order shall accompany this Memorandum Opinion.
