Opinion

Civil Action No. 3:16CV704

11-09-2016

ANTONIO LORENZO KELLEY, Plaintiff, v. MOTSUMI MOJA, et al., Defendants.


MEMORANDUM OPINION

By Memorandum Order entered on September 16, 2016, 2016, the Court conditionally docketed the action. At that time, the Court directed Antonio Lorenzo Kelley to affirm his intention to pay the full filing fee by signing and returning a consent to the collection of fees form. The Court warned Kelley that a failure to comply with the above directive within thirty (30) days of the date of entry thereof would result in summary dismissal of the action.

Kelley has not complied with the order of this Court. Kelley failed to return the consent to collection of fees form. As a result, he does not qualify for in forma pauperis status. Furthermore, he has not paid the statutory filing fee for the instant action. See 28 U.S.C. § 1914(a). Such conduct demonstrates a willful failure to prosecute. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Accordingly, this action will be dismissed without prejudice.

The Clerk is directed to send a copy of the Memorandum Opinion to Kelley.

It so ORDERED.
