No. 1:21-cv-00553-WJ-JFR FORREST FENN, SHILOH OLD, JONATHAN STUEF, and DAN BARBARISI, Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER DENYING MOTION TO REOPEN THIS MATTER comes before the Court on pro se Plaintiff's Motion to Reopen Case, Doc. 12, filed July 28, 2021. United States Magistrate Judge John F. Robbenhaar notified Plaintiff that his Complaint should be dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. See Order, Doc. 6, filed June 22, 2021. Judge Robbenhaar ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint and pay the filing fee. Judge Robbenhaar also notified Plaintiff that failure to timely file an amended complaint or timely pay the filing fee may result in dismissal of this case. The Court dismissed this case without prejudice on July 16, 2021, because Plaintiff did not file an amended complaint in response to Judge Robbenhaar's Order1 or pay the filing fee by the July 13, deadline. 1 Plaintiff filed his original Complaint on June 16, 2021. On June 16, 2021, before Judge Robbenhaar ordered Plaintiff to file an amended complaint, Plaintiff mailed a slightly amended complaint to the Clerk which was docketed on June 28, 2021, as an Amended Complaint, see Doc. 8. The Amended Complaint fails to state a claim. Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint in response to Judge Robbenhaar's Order.

Plaintiff paid the filing fee on July 20, 2021. The Court denies Plaintiff's Motion to reopen this case because Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint in response to Judge Robbenhaar's Order, which was also a basis for dismissing this case. IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's Motion to Reopen Case, Doc. 12, filed July 28, 2021, is DENIED. ________________________________________ WILLIAM P. JOHNSON CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 2
