ORDER 

1. The Court withdraws the reference. 

2. The Court notes Ellis' s address update, NQ 16. The Court has had this 

address for Ellis since late July. N2 11. 

3. Ellis's motion to clarify, NQ 17, is granted. Magistrate Judge Volpe's 

order on Ellis' s three-striker status, NQ 13, supersedes the pending 

recommendation, NQ 10. The recommendation is therefore declined without 

prejudice.

4. Judge Volpe is right: the four dismissals identified in his order, 

NQ 13, count as strikes under the statute. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). In the 

circumstances, the Court gives Ellis more time to pay the full $400 filing and 

administrative fees. He must pay by 23 September 2016, or else the Court will 

dismiss this case without prejudice. If Ellis pays by the deadline, then the 

Court will reinstate and rule on the recommendation, NQ 10. 

So Ordered.
