Runyon v. Iden Doc. 9 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY AT PADUCAH CHRISTIAN RUNYON v. PLAINTIFF CIVIL ACTION NO. 5:15-CV-98-TBR RICHARD IDEN et al. DEFENDANTS MEMORANDUM OPINION By Order entered June 24, 2015, the Court ordered Plaintiff to either pay the filing fee or submit a non-prisoner application to proceed without prepayment of fees within 30 days. The Court warned Plaintiff that failure to comply with the Order within the 30-day period would result in dismissal of the action. More than 30 days have passed, and Plaintiff has failed to comply with the Court’s Order. Courts have an inherent power “acting on their own initiative, to clear their calendars of cases that have remained dormant because of the inaction or dilatoriness of the parties seeking relief.” Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630 (1962). Therefore, by separate Order, the Court will dismiss the instant action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) (governing involuntary dismissal). Date: July 30, 2015 cc: Plaintiff, pro se 4413.009 Dockets.Justia.com
