Date Filed Document Text
June 2, 2023 Filing 34 MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) by Judge Otis D. Wright, II: ORDER GRANTING Motion for Relief #33 and REOPENING Case; Order SETTING Response Deadlines. The Court previously dismissed this case due to a purported lack of a complete in formapauperis application from Plaintiff. (Mins. Dismiss, ECF No. 31.) Thereafter, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Relief from Judgment, submitting evidence demonstrating that Plaintiff did timely submit an amended in forma pauperis application. (Mot. Relief J., ECF No. 33.) The Courts own investigation confirms that Plaintiff did in fact timely submit an amended in forma pauperis application and that the amended application was not initially docketed. As of May 29, 2023, the amended application has been docketed. (Am. Req. In Forma Pauperis, ECF No. 32.) Based on the foregoing, the Court finds good cause to provide relief from judgment of dismissal. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS Plaintiffs Motion for Relief from Judgment, (ECF No. 33), and hereby REINSTATES the case. All Defendants who have appeared are ORDERED to respond to Plaintiffs Complaint (whether by way of a re-noticed motion or otherwise) by no later than June 21, 2023. All parties shall re-file any oppositions and replies according to the deadlines set by the Local Rules. ( SEE FOOTNOTE 1: The Court will grant Plaintiffs in forma pauperis application by way of a separate Order finding that Plaintiff meets the relevant standard.). (Case Reopened. MD JS-5) (lc)

May 18, 2023 Filing 31 MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) by Judge Otis D. Wright, II: ORDER DENYING In Forma Pauperis Application #2 , DENYING AS MOOT Pending Motions #5 #26 , and DISMISSING Case. On April 13, 2023, the Court entered an Order on Plaintiff's request to proceed in forma pauperis, indicating that Plaintiffs first in forma pauperis application was incomplete and providing him thirty days to either file a complete application or pay the filing fee. (Order, ECF No. 17.)With adjustments for the weekend, Plaintiffs amended application or filing fee was due May 15, 2023. Plaintiffwho is capable of filing documents and receiving notice of filed documents electronically, (see ECF No. 16)has not filed an amended application or paid the filing fee. Therefore, the Court DENIES Plaintiffs in forma pauperis application. (ECF No. 2.) Given that Plaintiff has not paid the filing fee and has not been granted in forma pauperis statusby the deadline the Court provided, the case is appropriate for dismissal.The Court hereby DISMISSES the case for failure to pay the filing fee. The pending Motion to Compel Arbitration and Motion to Dismiss are each DENIED AS MOOT. (ECF Nos. 5, 26.) The Clerk of the Court shall close the case. ( MD JS-6. Case Terminated ) (lc)
