ORDER DIRECTING CLERK TO
RETURN CORRESPONDENCE OF
PLAINTIFFS, INCLUDING PERSONAL
FINANCIAL DOCUMENT, AS
UNNECESSARY
On September 7, 2011, this Court received correspondence and personal financial documents from Plaintiffs. It appears Plaintiffs believe they are obligated to pay a filing fee in this Court, as the correspondence seeks a waiver of the filing fee and the attached personal banking records pertain to Plaintiffs' financial condition. However, Plaintiffs are advised that because Defendants removed this action from the state court to this Court, only Defendants are obligated to pay a filing fee. In fact, Defendants did pay the required $350.00 filing fee on August 3, 2011. Thus, no further filing fee is due. Therefore, the Clerk of the Court is directed not to file these documents, rather, the Clerk shall return the correspondence and personal banking records to Plaintiffs.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
