MEMORANDUM OPINION 

Clinton James Pearson, Jr. filed this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Doc. 

1). On September 25, 2024, the magistrate judge granted Mr. Pearson’s motion to 

proceed in forma pauperis and ordered him to sign and return a Prisoner Consent Form 

and pay a $5 initial partial filing fee within 30 days. (Doc. 8). The magistrate judge 

wrote that if Mr. Pearson failed to comply, the Court had the authority to dismiss his 

action without further notice, eliminating Mr. Pearson’s obligation to pay the $350 

filing fee. (Doc. 8). 

The deadline has passed, and Mr. Pearson has neither returned his Prisoner 

Consent Form nor paid the initial partial filing fee. On November 15, 2024, the 

magistrate judge entered a report recommending this action be dismissed without 

prejudice under Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for failure to 

prosecute. (Doc. 9). The magistrate judge advised Mr. Pearson of his right to file
