RUFUS LOVELL BROOKS, Plaintiff, v. BROOK CONSULTANTS, INC., Defendant
ORDER
LESLIE HOFFMAN PRICE, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
This cause came on for consideration without oral argument on the following motion filed herein:
MOTION: PLAINTIFF MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION ALTERNATIVELY EXTENSION OF TIME TO PAY THE FILING FEES (Doc. No. 19)
FILED: January 2, 2024
THEREON it is ORDERED that the motion is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.
Plaintiff requests the Court reconsider its prior Order denying Plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Doc. No. 19. Upon review, however, Plaintiff's renewed application to proceed in forma paurperis continues to demonstrate assets sufficient to show Plaintiff is not “unable to pay for the court fees and costs, and to support and provide necessities for himself and his dependents.” See Martinez v. Kristi Kleaners, Inc., 364 F.3d 1305, 1307 (11th Cir. 2004). Plaintiff's motion to reconsider (Doc. No. 19) is thus DENIED as to Plaintiff's request to proceed in forma pauperis.
Plaintiff's alternative request for an extension of time to pay the filing fee (Doc. No. 19, at 2) is GRANTED. It is thus ORDERED that on or before January 31, 2024, Plaintiff shall pay the filing fee for this case in full. Failure to pay the filing fee as required may result in dismissal of this case without further notice.
DONE and ORDERED.
