Civil Action No. 3:20CV452

RAYMOND TAYLOR, Plaintiff, v. LT. CURRY, et al., Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
On July 20, 2020, the Court conditionally docketed Plaintiff's action. Plaintiff requested leave to proceed in forma pauperis. By Memorandum Order entered on August 10, 2020, the Court directed Plaintiff to pay an initial partial filing fee of $5.38 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). Plaintiff has neither paid the initial partial filing fee nor averred that he cannot pay such a fee. Plaintiff, therefore, is not entitled to proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff's disregard of the Court's directives warrants dismissal of the action. Accordingly, the action will be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
An appropriate order shall issue.
