DISPOSITION

Gregory Jiles (“Plaintiff”), incarcerated in the Craighead County Detention Center, filed 

this action on October 30, 2019 alleging violations of his constitutional rights. (Doc. No. 1.) He 

did not pay the $400 filing fee or file an Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and 

Affidavit (“IFP”). In a November 4, 2019 Order, I directed Plaintiff to submit within thirty (30) 

days either the $400 filing fee1 or a proper and complete Application to Proceed IFP, with a 

calculation sheet and certified copy of his trust fund account statement for the preceding six 

months. (Doc. No. 2.) I cautioned Plaintiff that his failure to comply with my Order may result 

in the dismissal of his case without prejudice. (Id.) 

More than thirty days have now passed from the entry of my November 4, 2019 Order. 

Plaintiff has not complied with or otherwise responded to the Order. Plaintiff was warned that 

such failure could result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice 

pursuant to Local Rule 5.5(c)(2). 

 

1

 Effective May 1, 2013, the cost for filing a new civil case is $400. The increase is due to a new 

$50 administrative fee, which does not apply to persons granted in forma pauperis status under 

28 U.S.C. § 1915.

3 

IT IS, THEREFORE, RECOMMENDED that Plaintiff=s Complaint (Doc. No. 1) be 

DISMISSED without prejudice and that the Court certify, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that 

an in forma pauperis appeal from any Order adopting this Recommendation and the accompanying 

Judgment would not be taken in good faith. 

DATED this 12th day of December 2019.
