UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

DAVID LEE HILLIARD, 

 Plaintiff - Appellant,

v.

CHARLES RAY, Warden; JOE CROW,

Warehouse Supervisor; STEVE KAISER,

Warden; ROBERT EZELL; DAVIS

CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, Medical

Department; OKLAHOMA

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS, 

 Defendants - Appellees.

Nos. 07-7106 and 08-7012 

(D.C. No. 05-CV-00154-FHS)

ORDER

In a March 26, 2008 Order, Appellant-Plaintiff David Hilliard was directed to show

cause why he should not be required to pay the full appellate filing fees for these appeals.

After consideration of his response, a panel of the court, in an April 10, 2008 Order, held that

28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) was applicable to Appellant’s appeals, ordered Appellant to pay the full

appellate fees for each appeal within 20 days, i.e., April 30, 2008, and advised Appellant that

“[i]f payment in full is not received within that period of time, these appeals will be

dismissed.” Appellant did not pay the fees. Rather, Appellant filed a motion for en banc

consideration, which the court construed as a “motion for reconsideration.” In an April 29,

2008 Order, a panel of the court denied Appellant’s motion, advising Appellant that the full

fees for both appeals “remain due by April 30, 2008.” Appellant did not pay the fees. 

Appellant Hilliard has now filed a “motion for clarification” as to why two fees must

be paid. Contrary to his assertions in this motion, Appellant filed two notices of appeal as

to two different district court orders: a November 8, 2007 Order granting Defendant

Oklahoma Department of Corrections’ motion to dismiss and dismissing the individual

Defendants, which was assigned Appeal No. 07-7106; and a January 11, 2008 Order

dismissing Defendant Davis Correctional Facility, which was assigned Appeal No. 08-7012.

Appellant Hilliard still has not paid the filing fees that were due April 30, 2008.

Accordingly, these appeals are DISMISSED for failure to prosecute. See 10th Cir.

R. 3.3(B) and 42.1. The mandates shall issue forthwith.
