DISPOSITION

Nicholas Addison (“Plaintiff”) is an inmate of the Arkansas Department of Correction

(“ADC”). He began this action by filing a Complaint (Doc. No. 2). After a review of the docket,

I determined he was a “three-striker” within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) (Doc. No. 2).1

Accordingly, I directed him to submit the statutory filing fee of $400 within fourteen (14) days. (Id.). 

Plaintiff was warned that failure to submit the filing fee would result in the dismissal of this action

without prejudice (Id. at 2). 

In excess of fourteen days have passed since the Court’s Order was entered, and Plaintiff has

not submitted the filing fee. Accordingly, the Court recommends that this action be dismissed

without prejudice.

IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED that:

1. Plaintiff’s Complaint (Doc. No. 2) be DISMISSED without prejudice.

2. The Court certify, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma pauperis

appeal from any Order adopting these recommendations would not be taken in good faith.

I also found the imminent danger exception to the three strikes rule did not apply in this

case. (Doc. No. 2 at 2).
