Filing 4
Text Order entered by Judge Hawley on 5/5/2026: On 4/14/2026, the Court entered a 3 Text Order explaining that the Plaintiff's Motion to Proceed IFP indicated the Plaintiff is able to pay the $405 filing fee. The Court therefore directed the Plaintiff to pay the full $405 filing fee by 4/28/2026 and warned that failure to do so would result in dismissal of this case. The Plaintiff failed to pay the full filing fee by the deadline, and so his case is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for failure to comply with the Court's order. The Clerk is directed to enter judgment and close this case.(BMG)

Filing 3
TEXT ORDER denying #2 the Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis. The Court has reviewed the Plaintiff's Motion which was submitted under penalty of perjury. The Plaintiff indicates that he expects $2,500 in income next month, that he has $800 in cash, $750 in a debit account, and total monthly expenses of $1,730. He does not expect any major changes to his monthly income or expenses or in his assets or liabilities during the next 12 months. He represents that while he has been struggling to survive since his alleged wrongful termination, he "may be nearing stability." It appears the Plaintiff may have incorrectly listed his income amount for the 12 past months combined (he indicates an average monthly income of $10,000 from self-employment and an average monthly income of $11,000 from public assistance for a total monthly income of $21,000 during the past 12 months) and incorrectly listed his gross pay overall rather than his gross monthly pay while employed by Copart (he indicates a gross monthly pay of $65,000). It also appears he failed to include $850 in monthly expenses in his total monthly expenses calculation. Nevertheless, the other information provided indicates the Plaintiff is able to pay the $405 filing fee. The Court specifically notes that the Plaintiff's annual income is over the $15,960 HHS Poverty Guidelines for a household of 1. The Plaintiff must pay the full $405 filing fee by 4/28/2026. Failure to do so will result in dismissal of this case. The Clerk is directed to mail a copy of this Text Order to the pro se Plaintiff. Entered by District Judge Jonathan E Hawley on 4/14/2026. (KZ)
