JOSEPH PEARSON, #697215, Plaintiff, v. LISA REEVES, ET AL., Defendants.
HONORABLE ARTHUR J. TARNOW
OPINION AND ORDER OF DISMISSAL
The Court has before it Plaintiff Joseph Pearson's pro se civil rights complaint brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff is a state prisoner confined at the West Shoreline Correctional Facility in Muskegon Heights, Michigan. At the time he filed his complaint, Plaintiff did not pay the required $350.00 filing fee, nor did he submit a proper application to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2);McGore v. Wrigglesworth, 114 F.3d 601, 605 (6th Cir. 1997). Consequently, the Court issued a deficiency order requiring Plaintiff to either pay the filing fee or submit a properly completed in forma pauperis application within 30 days - by November 21, 2011. The order provided that if Plaintiff did not submit either the fee or the application within that time, his case would be dismissed. Plaintiff has failed to correct the deficiency within the allotted time for doing so.
Accordingly, the Court DISMISSES WITHOUT PREJUDICE the civil rights complaint. IT IS SO ORDERED.
