SAMUEL MAURICE DIXON, JR, Plaintiff, v. PAMELA DIXON, Defendant.
ORDER DISMISSING COMPLAINT (ECF NO. 1) WITHOUT PREJUDICE
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On October 20, 2023, Plaintiff Samuel Maurice Dixon, Jr., filed this action against Defendant Pamela Dixon. (See Compl., ECF No. 1.) Dixon did not pay the required filing fee when he filed his Complaint. Instead, he filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. (See Application, ECF No. 2.) The Court denied that application on January 3, 2024. (See Order, ECF No. 6.) The Court explained to Dixon that he was not eligible to proceed in forma pauperis because “on three or more prior occasions, while incarcerated ... [he] brought an action or appeal in a court of the United States that was dismissed on the ground that it is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state claim upon which relief may be granted.” (Id.) The Court therefore ordered Dixon to pay the required filing fee by no later than March 1, 2024. (See id.) Finally, it warned Dixon that the “[f]ailure to pay the filing fee by [that] deadline may result in [the] dismissal of [his] complaint.” (Id.)
Dixon has not complied with the Court's January 3 order by paying the required filing fee. Nor has he contacted the Court to ask for additional time to comply with that order. Accordingly, because Dixon has failed to comply with the Court's January 3 order and failed to pay the required filing fee, his Complaint (ECF No. 1) is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
