Haury v. Turner

Full title: MICHAEL HAURY, Plaintiff, v. EVELYN RIDLEY TURNER, et al., Defendants

Court: United States District Court, N.D. Indiana, South Bend Division

Date published: Feb 16, 2006

Cause No. 3:05-CV-781RM (N.D. Ind. Feb. 16, 2006)

Opinion

Cause No. 3:05-CV-781RM.

OPINION AND ORDER

ROBERT MILLER JR., Chief Judge

Michael Haury, a pro se prisoner, filed a complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915A the complaint was dismissed. Mr. Haury filed a motion to reconsider the December 15, 2005 order assessing the initial partial filing fee, and directing that the remainder of the filing fee be paid over time. Mr. Haury requests that the filing fee be waived due to hardship and because the complaint was dismissed. 28 U.S.C. § 1915 requires that an inmate who files a civil lawsuit pay the filing fee either in advance or over time. Mr. Haury filed this lawsuit and so must pay the filing fee even though the case has been dismissed.

For the foregoing reasons, the court DENIES the motion for reconsideration (docket #7).

SO ORDERED.
