SMITH, Plaintiff, Civil Action No. 3:14CV298 v. S. ROBINSON, Defendant. MEMORANDUM OPINION On May 22,2014, the Court conditionally docketed Plaintiffs action. Plaintiff requested leave to proceed informa pauperis.

See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(b)(1). By Memorandum Order entered July 30,2014, the Court warned Plaintiff that he bore the responsibility to submit the partial filing fee and provided Plaintiff an additional eleven (11) days of the date of entry thereof in which to submit the fee.
