GREGORY B. MYERS, Plaintiff, v. CITY OF NAPLES, FLORIDA, Defendant.
ORDER
SHERI POLSTER CHAPPELL UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Before the Court is pro se Plaintiff Gregory B. Myers' Complaint. (Doc. 1). Plaintiff (who is not in custody) has yet to pay the filing fee or move to proceed in forma pauperis. The Court thus dismisses this action without prejudice. See 28 U.S.C. §1914(c) (“Each district court by rule or standing order may require advance payment of fees”); Local Rule 1.05(c) (“The clerk must accept an initial paper from a person in custody even if no filing fee or motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis accompanies the paper.” (emphasis added)). If Plaintiff wants to proceed with his claims, he may file another complaint under a separate case number that is accompanied by the required filing fee or motion to proceed in forma pauperis.
Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
The Complaint (Doc. 1) is DISMISSED without prejudice.
