BRIAN EDWARD LAW, Plaintiff, v. KURT STENDER, et al., Defendants.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
S. KATE VAUGHAN, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff is currently in custody at Pierce County Jail and proceeds pro se in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action. On April 10, 2023, Plaintiff filed a proposed § 1983 civil rights complaint. See Dkt. 1. Plaintiff did not apply to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) and did not pay the filing fee. On April 13, 2023, the Court mailed Plaintiff a letter informing him that in order to proceed with this action, he would need to pay the filing fee or apply for IFP status by May 15, 2023. Dkt. 4. The letter further informed Plaintiff that his failure to comply with its directive may result in dismissal of this action. Id.
To date, Plaintiff has failed to pay the filing fee or apply to proceed IFP. Given this, the Court recommends dismissal of this action without prejudice. A proposed Order of Dismissal accompanies this Report and Recommendation.
