Ann Gates-Middleton; and Ervin Middleton, Jr., Plaintiffs, v. Guaranteed Rate, Inc.; et al., Defendants.
ORDER
DANIEL J. ALBREGTS UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On January 12, 2022, the undersigned denied Plaintiffs' pending motions as moot because they had not yet paid the filing fee or applied to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF No. 13). The undersigned ordered the Plaintiffs to either pay the filing fee or apply to proceed in forma pauperis on or before February 11, 2022. (Id. at 6). Plaintiffs appealed the order to the Honorable District Judge Gloria M. Navarro. (ECF No. 14). Judge Navarro denied the appeal on July 25, 2022, explaining that “[t]he Magistrate Judge correctly determined that this case cannot proceed until Plaintiffs pay the filing fee or file an IFP.” (Id.). Since Judge Navarro issued that order, Plaintiffs have not paid the filing fee, applied to proceed in forma pauperis, or taken any action in the case.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiffs must show cause why their case should not be dismissed for their failure to pay the filing fee or apply to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiffs must file their response to this order on or before May 3, 2023. Failure to comply with this order may result in a recommendation that this case be dismissed.
