fee in this case. All other matters in this action will remain with the Magistrate Judge for

disposition as appropriate.

in compliance with this Order within 30 days from the filing date of this Order.

this Order within 30 days, the Clerk of Court shall enter a judgment of dismissal of this

action without prejudice.
