IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

NICHOLAS CORTEZ ADDISON PLAINTIFF

V. CASE NO. 3:15-CV-00174 DPM/BD

JOEY MARTIN DEFENDANT

RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION

I. Procedures for Filing Objections: 

This Recommended Disposition (“Recommendation”) has been sent to United

States District Judge D.P. Marshall Jr. You may file written objections to this

Recommendation. If you file objections, they must be specific and must include the

factual or legal basis for your objection. Your objections must be received in the office of

the United States District Court Clerk within fourteen (14) days of this Recommendation. 

If no objections are filed, Judge Marshall can adopt this Recommendation without

independently reviewing the record. By not objecting, you may also waive any right to

appeal questions of fact.

II. Background:

On June 18, 2015, Plaintiff Nicholas Cortez Addison, an inmate in the Poinsett

County Detention Center, filed this action pro se under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that

Defendant Martin violated his constitutional rights. (Docket entry #2) Because of his

litigation history, Mr. Addison cannot proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) in federal court

Case 3:15-cv-00174-DPM Document 9 Filed 07/24/15 Page 1 of 2
absent an allegation that he is in imminent danger of serious physical injury.

 Here, Mr.

Addison did not plead sufficient facts to allege imminent danger of serious physical

injury. 

The Court allowed Mr. Addison thirty days to pay the $400 filing fee in order to

proceed with this lawsuit. (#3) Mr. Addison was specifically cautioned that his failure to

pay the filing fee could result in dismissal of his claims, without prejudice. To date, Mr.

Addison has failed to pay the filing fee, as required in the Court’s June 18, 2015 Order,

and the time for doing so has passed.

III. Conclusion:

The Court recommends that Mr. Addison’s claims be DISMISSED, without

prejudice, based on his failure to comply with the Court’s June 18, 2015 Order requiring

him to pay the filing fee.

DATED this 24th day of July, 2015.
