Opinion
Case No. 4:16cv668-MW/CAS
05-10-2017
GREGORY WASHINGTON, Plaintiff, v. BILL SHARP, and DAREN SHIPPY, Defendants.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Pro se Plaintiff Gregory Washington initiated this case in October 2016 by filing a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. ECF No. 1. Plaintiff was directed to file an in forma pauperis motion, which he did in January 2017. ECF No. 6. Plaintiff's in forma pauperis motion was granted on January 10, 2017, and he was assessed an initial partial filing fee. ECF No. 8. Thereafter, Plaintiff was granted an extension of time in which to submit payment of the assessed initial partial filing fee of $1.90. ECF Nos. 9-10. Plaintiff was required to submit payment on or before April 28, 2017. ECF No. 10.
Plaintiff was advised in several court orders that if he failed to pay the fee as required, a recommendation would be entered to dismiss this case. ECF No. 8 at 4; ECF No. 10 at 2. As of this date, payment has not been made. It appears that Plaintiff has abandoned this litigation and the case should now be dismissed.
It is respectfully RECOMMENDED that this case be DISMISSED for failure to comply with court orders and failure to prosecute.
IN CHAMBERS at Tallahassee, Florida, on May 10, 2017.
