ORDERED that Plaintiff may have the above entitled case reopened, if, within thirty (30) days of the date of the entry of this Order, Plaintiff either pre-pays the $400 filing fee or submits to the Clerk a complete signed in forma pauperis application; and it is further
ORDERED that upon receipt of a writing from Plaintiff stating that he wishes to reopen this case, and either a complete in forma pauperis application or filing fee within the time allotted by this Court, the Clerk will be directed to reopen this case; and it is further
ORDERED that all pending motions shall be ADMINISTRATIVELY TERMINATED and may be refiled if appropriate if and when the case is reopened; and it is finally
ORDERED that the Clerk shall serve on Plaintiff by regular U.S. mail: (1) this Memorandum & Order; and (2) a blank form application to proceed in forma pauperis.
