Opinion
Civil Action No. 3:19CV418
12-09-2019
UHURU BAKARA ROWE, Plaintiff, v. GREGORY L. HOLLOWAY, et al., Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
By Memorandum Order entered on October 9, 2019, the Court conditionally docketed the action. Ukuru Bakara Rowe requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis. By Memorandum Order entered on November 8, 2019, the Court directed Rowe to pay an initial partial filing fee of $17.75 or state under penalty of perjury that he did not have sufficient assets to pay such a fee within eleven (11) days of the date of entry thereof. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). Rowe has neither paid the initial partial filing fee nor averred that he cannot pay such a fee. Therefore, Rowe is not entitled to proceed in forma pauperis. Rowe's disregard of the Court's directives warrants dismissal of the action. Accordingly, the action will be dismissed without prejudice.
The Clerk is directed to send a copy of the Memorandum Opinion to Rowe.
