Smith v. Wright et al Doc. 8 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT E L 7 2014 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA u. Richmond Division CLERK. U.S. DISTRICT COURT RICHMOND, VA RALPH SMITH, Plaintiff, Civil Action No. 3:14CV299 v. JUANITA WRIGHT, et <*/., Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION On June 25, 2014, the Court conditionally docketed Plaintiffs action. Plaintiff requested leave to proceed informa pauperis. By Memorandum Order entered on August 20, 2014, the Court directed Plaintiff to pay an initial partial filing fee of $.78 or state under penalty of perjury that he did not have sufficient assets to pay such a fee within eleven (11) days of the date of entry thereof. See 28 U.S.C. ยง 1915(b)(1). Plaintiff has neither paid the initial partial filing fee nor averred that he cannot pay such a fee. Therefore, Plaintiff is not entitled to proceed informa pauperis. Plaintiffs disregard of the Court's directives warrants dismissal of the action. Accordingly, the action will be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. An appropriate order shall issue. Isl James R. Spencer Senior U. S. District Judge Richmond, Virginia Dockets.Justia.com
