EDDIE L.PEARSON Respondent. MEMORANDUM OPINION (Dismissing Action Without Prejudice) On October 27,2020,the Court conditionally docketed Petitioner's action. Petitioner requested leave to proceed informa pauperis. By Memorandum Order entered on November 18,2020, the Court directed Petitioner to pay the filing fee of$5.00 or state under penalty of perjury that he did not have sufficient assets to pay such a fee within eleven(11) days ofthe date of entry thereof. See 28 U.S.C. ยง 1915(b)(1). Petitioner has neither paid the initial partial filing fee nor averred that he cannot pay such a fee. Therefore, Petitioner is not entitled to proceed informa pauperis. Petitioner's disregard ofthe Court's directives warrants dismissal of the action. Accordingly, the action will be dismissed without prejudice. An appropriate Order shall accompany this Memorandum Opinion. /s/ HENRY E.HUDSON Date: SENIOR UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE Richmond, Virginia Dockets.Justia.com
