ROY LEE RUCKER, Plaintiff, v. BRISTOL WEST INS., Defendant.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
TU M. PHAM, Chief United States Magistrate Judge.
On March 4, 2022, plaintiff Roy Lee Rucker, a resident of Memphis, Tennessee, filed a pro se complaint and a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. (ECF Nos. 1 & 2.) However, Rucker's motion did not provide the court with sufficient financial information to determine whether he was unable to pay the civil filing fee. On March 9, 2022, the undersigned entered an order directing Rucker to file a properly completed in forma pauperis affidavit or pay the $402.00 civil filing fee within 30 days. (ECF No. 6.) The order notified Rucker that failure to comply would result in dismissal of this action without further notice, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b), for failure to prosecute. As of May 5, 2022, Rucker has not complied with the court's order. Accordingly, it is recommended that the complaint be dismissed without prejudice.
