ANTHONY TRIVAYL PATTERSON, Plaintiff, v. YKK USA INC., Defendant.
ORDER
TILMAN E. SELF, III, JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
Before the Court is Plaintiff Anthony Trivayl Patterson's Motion to Request a Payment Plan for Filing and Service Fees [Doc. 16]. In that Motion, Plaintiff claims “the Court revoked Plaintiff's IFP status on September 19, 2023, requiring Plaintiff to pay the standard filing fees for this action.” [Doc. 16, p. 1]. However, the Court never revoked Plaintiff's IFP status. Indeed, the Court granted Plaintiff's Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis [Doc. 2] on July 30, 2024. See [Doc. 3]. The Court did deny Plaintiff's second Motion to Proceed In Forma Pauperis [Doc. 11] as moot because, as the Court explained, it granted Plaintiff's first IFP motion and the second IFP motion was unnecessary. See [Doc. 13].
The only other Orders, see [Doc. 5], [Doc. 15], dealt with the Court's frivolity screening and Plaintiff's Motion for Reconsideration [Doc. 14]. None of those Orders disturbed the Court's earlier decision granting Plaintiff's IFP motion.
Accordingly, because there are no fees due, the Court DENIES Plaintiff's Motion to Request a Payment Plan for Filing and Service Fees [Doc. 16] as moot.
The Court also notes that Defendant YKK (USA), Inc. filed a Waiver of Service [Doc. 10]. That means service is complete in this case and there are no outstanding fees for service.
SO ORDERED.
