Opinion
Case No. 07-C-67.
February 15, 2008
ORDER
Plaintiff Poirier has filed a "motion for consideration" in which he asks that this court inform the court of appeals that he is paying his filing fees. If in forma pauperis status had been granted (it has not), the plaintiff-appellant would be able to pay his fees over time, as he is currently doing. However, both this court and the court of appeals have denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis on appeal. That means the entire balance of the appellate docketing fee is due or else the appeal will be dismissed. In other words, the fact that he has been paying his fees in increments does not affect his ability to proceed with his appeal. No fees are refunded upon dismissal. Accordingly, the motion is DENIED. SO ORDERED.
