DARRYL TELLIS, Plaintiff, v. UNKNOWN SUPERVISOR and UNKNOWN NURSE, Defendants.
ORDER DISMISSING COMPLAINT (ECF No. 1) WITHOUT PREJUDICE
MATTHEW F. LEITMAN, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On March 29, 2021, while confined at the Oakland County Jail, Plaintiff Darryl Tellis filed this pro se civil-rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (See Compl., ECF No. 1.) Tellis did not pay the filing fee for a civil action or move to proceed without prepayment of the filing fee under 28 U.S.C. § 1915. On April 15, 2021, the Court ordered Tellis to correct this deficiency (the “Deficiency Order”). (See Deficiency Order, ECF No. 3.) Tellis responded to the Deficiency Order by asking for additional time to comply with that order. (See Ltr., ECF No. 12.) The Court granted that request and provided Tellis until September 30, 2021, to correct his deficiency. (See Order, ECF No. 13.) Tellis has failed to do so. Nor has he contacted the Court to ask for additional time to comply. Accordingly, because Tellis has failed to respond to the Deficiency Order, and because he has failed to either pay the required filing fee or move to proceed without the prepayment of that fee, the Court DISMISSES Tellis' Complaint (ECF No. 1) WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
