Case No. 2:19-cv-01991-AKK-JHE

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

The magistrate judge filed a report on December 16, 2019, recommending this 

action be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to the three strikes provision of 28 

U.S.C. § 1915(g). Doc. 2. Although the magistrate judge advised the plaintiff of his 

right to file specific written objections within fourteen (14) days, no objections have 

been received by the court. 

Having carefully reviewed and considered de novo all the materials in the 

court file, including the report and recommendation, the magistrate judge’s report is 

hereby ADOPTED and the recommendation is ACCEPTED. Because the plaintiff 

failed to pay the filing and administrative fees of $400.00 at the time he filed this 

complaint, the court DISMISSES this action WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The 

plaintiff may initiate a new civil rights action by completing and filing a new civil 

rights complaint form and paying the filing and administrative fees of $400.00.

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.
