IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

KENNETH RAY PITTS PLAINTIFF

 ADC #85938

VS. CASE NO. 5:07CV00089 JMM 

R. HARRIS, ET AL. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Plaintiff’s Motion to Dismiss his complaint is granted (#22). Plaintiff’s Motion to Stop

Payment is denied (#22). A voluntary dismissal of a case does not negate the assessment of a

filing fee when a prisoner has been granted in forma pauperis status under the Prison Litigation

Reform Act. Cf. Miller v. Lincoln County, 171 F.3d 595 (8th Cir. 1999) (under PLRA, a prisoner

must pay the full appellate fee even though his appeal was dismissed as untimely; court refuses to

waive or reduce the fee).

The complaint is dismissed without prejudice. All remaining motions and the Magistrate

Judge’s recommendation are dismissed as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 5 day of July , 2007.
