No. CV-08-2081-PHX-DGC

ORDER

Plaintiff commenced this action on November 10, 2008. Dkt. #1. On December 9,

2008, the Court issued an order denying Plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis in

light of his propensity for filing frivolous and repetitive lawsuits. Dkt. #5; see Dkt. #3.

Plaintiff has filed a motion for leave to pay the $350.00 filing fee by installments. Dkt. #6

at 1-2. The Court will deny the motion. The Court will, however, give Plaintiff until

March 6, 2009 to pay the filing fee in full. The Court will not extend this deadline absent

a showing of extraordinary circumstances prior to the expiration of the deadline.

Plaintiff has moved to realign the parties and bring this action in his own name as the

real party in interest. Dkt. #6 at 2. The Court will deny the motion as moot. Plaintiff may

file an amended complaint once as a matter of course before a responsive pleading is filed.

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a). Plaintiff may not, however, file an amended complaint prior to

paying the filing fee in full.
