Filing 6
TEXT ORDER entered by Magistrate Judge Douglas J Quivey on 6/9/2026. In a Text Order 3 entered on May 14, 2026, Plaintiff was directed to either pay the required filing fee or file a petition for leave to proceed in forma pauperis within 21 days, or the matter would be dismissed. While Plaintiff has taken neither of those steps, he has filed a Memorandum of Law #5 , in which he states that he has been unable to procure his trust fund ledgers from his facility. The Court will grant Plaintiff an additional 21 days in which to pay the required filing fee or file a petition for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. If Plaintiff wishes to proceed with the latter option, and remains unable to procure his prison trust fund ledgers, he should file his petition without them. The failure to pay the filing fee or file a petition for leave to proceed in forma pauperis within 21 days will result in dismissal of this case without prejudice, and Plaintiff will still be responsible for payment of the filing fee. (KE)
