Date Filed Document Text
August 9, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 14 PAPERLESS ORDER denying #11 Motion for Certificate of Appealability. Because he's brought a Section 1983 action, the Plaintiff doesn't need a certificate of appealability to pursue an appeal. See, e.g., Smith v. Catoe, 109 F. App'x 589, 589 (4th Cir. 2004) ("Because a certificate of appealability is not required to appeal from the district court's order denying relief in a 1983 action, we deny Smith's motion for a certificate of appealability as unnecessary."). And, in fact, the Plaintiff has already filed a Notice of Appeal [ECF No. #10 ]. His Motion [ECF No. #11 ] is, therefore, DENIED. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman (bca)

July 15, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER. The Complaint [ECF No. #1 ] is DISMISSED without prejudice. Any pending motions are DENIED as moot. All deadlines are TERMINATED. And the Clerk is instructed to CLOSE this case. The Plaintiff may, if he wishes, move to reopen this case by submitting an amended complaint within 30 days of this Order (that is, by August 15, 2021). The Clerk's Office SHALL NOT mail this Order to Mr. Hughes, as he is not a party in this case. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 7/15/2021. See attached document for full details. (daa)
July 8, 2021 Filing 6 Clerks Notice of Receipt of Filing Fee received on 7/8/2021 in the amount of $402.00, receipt number FLS100232399. (jcs)
June 24, 2021 Filing 5 Amended Clerk's Notice of Filing Deficiency Case not filed with required filing fees of $402.00 (civil cases= $ 402.00, memo cases= $ 49.00, habeas cases= $ 5.00) pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1914(a), and the CM/ECF Administrative Procedures. (vt) Modified on 6/24/2021 (vt).
June 24, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 4 PAPERLESS ORDER striking #3 Clerk's Notice of Filing Deficiency. The Plaintiff submitted a check of $400 in his efforts to initiate this new action. See Routing Slip [ECF No. 1-3]. But, of course, that would leave him $2 short of the full $402 filing fee for non-IFP plaintiffs. See United States District Court: Southern District of Florida, Fee Schedule, available at: https://www.flsd.uscourts.gov/court-fees (last accessed June 23, 2021). The Clerk's Office, though, rejected the Plaintiff's check and entered a "Clerks Notice of Filing Deficiency" claiming (erroneously) that the Plaintiff overpaid the Court's fees. See Clerk's Notice of Filing Deficiency [ECF No. 3] ("Enclosed you will find [check] no. 7373 in the amount of $400.00. The filing fee for 42 USC 1983 pro se [cases] is $350.00."). The Plaintiff did not overpay--he underpaid. And, thus, the Clerk's Office is INSTRUCTED to strike its Notice of Filing Deficiency [ECF No. 3]. The Clerk's Office is further INSTRUCTED to enter an Amended Notice of Filing Deficiency reflecting the correct filing fee of $402 and to mail it to the appropriate prison officials. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman (bca)
