ORDER

On October 28, 2019, Plaintiff Charles Eugene Moore was ordered to pay an 

initial partial filing fee of $11.50 to commence this action. Doc. 8. Moore also was 

instructed to sign the enclosed Prisoner Consent Form and return it to the Clerk of 

the Court with a check in the amount of the initial partial filing fee, made payable to 

the “Clerk, United States District Court,” within 30 days. Doc. 8. Moore was 

notified that his failure to pay the initial partial filing fee pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1915(b)(1) would result in the dismissal of his complaint without further notice. 

Doc. 8.

When Moore failed to comply with that order, the court entered a report and 

recommendation that this action be dismissed due to his failure to prosecute. Doc. 9. 

Based on Moore’s objections to the report and recommendation, the court allowed 

Moore additional time to comply and warned him that his failure to pay the initial

partial filing fee and return his Prisoner Consent Form within the time provided 

would result in dismissal of this action. Doc. 13. Moore returned his Prisoner 

Consent Form, see doc. 14, but failed to pay the initial partial filing fee. 

Because of Moore’s partial compliance with the order of January 6, 2020, he 

was allowed one final opportunity to pay his initial partial filing fee within 14 days.

Doc. 16. More than 14 days have elapsed, and once again, Moore has failed to 

comply with this court’s order. Accordingly, the court ORDERS that this action be

DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for failure to prosecute.

For information regarding the cost of appeal, see the attached notice.

DONE the 6th day of March, 2020.

United States Court of Appeals

Eleventh Circuit

56 Forsyth Street, N.W.

Atlanta, Georgia 30303

David J. Smith In Replying Give Number

Clerk of Court of Case and Names of Parties

NOTICE TO PRISONERS CONCERNING CIVIL APPEALS

 

The Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (effective April 26, 1996) now REQUIRES that 

all prisoners pay the Court’s $500 docket fee plus $5 filing fee (for a total of $505) when appealing 

any civil judgment.

 If you wish to appeal in a civil case that Act now requires that upon filing a notice of 

appeal you either:

(1) Pay the total $505 fee to the clerk of the district court from which 

this case arose; or

(2) arrange to have a prison official certify to the district court from 

which the appeal arose the average monthly deposits and balances 

in your prison account for each of the six months preceding the filing 

of a notice of appeal.

If you proceed with option (2) above, the Act requires that the district court order you to 

pay an initial partial fee of at least 20% of the greater of either the average monthly deposits or 

of the average monthly balances shown in your prison account. The remainder of the total $505 

fee will thereafter be deducted from your prison account each month that your account balance 

exceeds $10. Each such monthly deduction shall equal 20% of all deposits to your prison account 

during the previous month, until the total $505 fee is paid. (If your prison account statement shows 

that you cannot pay even the required initial partial fee, your appeal may nevertheless proceed, 

BUT THE TOTAL $505 FEE WILL BE ASSESSED AGAINST AND WILL BE DEDUCTED 

FROM FUTURE DEPOSITS TO YOUR PRISON ACCOUNT.) 

Fees are not refundable, regardless of outcome, and deductions from your prison account 

will continue until the total $505 fee is collected, even if an appeal is unsuccessful.
