The delay between the date of mailing and the date of receipt appears to have been

the result of plaintiff’s having mailed the fee to an incorrect address. For future reference,

in the event that plaintiff wishes to mail documents to the Clerk, plaintiff should use the

following address:

deadline of March 31, 2006. Also, on April 6, 2006, the Clerk entered judgment on the

Court’s order of dismissal. Thereafter, on April 10, 2006, the Clerk received the filing fee by

mail; according to the postmark on the envelope, plaintiff mailed the filing fee to the Clerk

on March 31, 2006.1

Because plaintiff has paid the required filing fee, the Court hereby SETS ASIDE the

161, 165 (7th Cir. 1995) (holding, where district court denies application to proceed in

forma pauperis, 120-day period to serve defendant begins running on date plaintiff pays

filing fee).2 Plaintiff is further ORDERED to file, no later than August 4, 2006, proof of such

service of the summons and complaint on defendant. If plaintiff does not timely serve

defendant or timely file proof of service, the Court hereby gives plaintiff notice that the

action will be dismissed without prejudice, pursuant to Rule 4(m).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
