KEON WILLIAMS, Plaintiff v. JERRY ROGERS, et al., Defendants.
ORDER TO PAY FILING FEE OR FILE APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS
On March 30, 2023, Plaintiff Keon Williams (“Williams”) submitted a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF No. 1 -1). Williams has neither paid the full $402 filing fee for this matter nor filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis.
Under Local Rule LSR 1-1, a person who is unable to prepay the fees in a civil case may apply to the Court for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The application must be made on the form provided by the Court and must include a financial affidavit disclosing the applicant's income, assets, expenses, and liabilities.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED the Clerk of the Court shall SEND Williams the approved form application to proceed in forma pauperis by a non-inmate.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that on or before Wednesday, May 3, 2023, Williams will either: (1) pay the full $402 filing fee for a civil action (which includes the $350 filing fee and the $52 administrative fee); or (2) file with the Court a completed Application to Proceed in Forma Pauperis for Non-Inmate on this Court's approved form, along with a completed and signed financial affidavit. Failure to do so will result in a recommendation to the District Court to dismiss the complaint.
The Court will retain Williams's civil rights complaint, (ECF No. 1 -1), but will not file it unless and until Williams timely complies with this order.
