The Court warned Plaintiff that a failure to comply with the above directive within thirty (30) days of the date of entry thereof would result in summary dismissal of the action.

Furthermore, he has not paid the statutory filing fee for the instant action. See 28 U.S.C. ยง 1914(a). Plaintiff s conduct demonstrates a willful failure to prosecute. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
