RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION
I. Procedures for Filing Objections
This Recommended Disposition (Recommendation) has been sent to Judge James M. Moody Jr. Mathew Archibald may file written objections with the Clerk of Court. To be considered, objections must be filed within 14 days. Objections should be specific and should include the factual or legal basis for the objection.
If Mr. Archibald does not file objections, he risks waiving the right to appeal questions of fact. And, if no objections are filed, Judge Moody can adopt this Recommendation without independently reviewing the record.
II. Discussion
Mr. Archibald filed his complaint in this civil rights lawsuit on June 28, 2019, while detained in the Drew County Detention Facility. (Docket entry #1) He did not pay the civil filing fee or submit an application to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP). On July 1, 2019, the Clerk of Court sent Mr. Archibald an IFP application, and the Court ordered him to file a completed IFP application or pay the filing fee within 30 days. (#2)
To date, Mr. Archibald has failed to respond to the Court's July 1 Order, and the time allowed for addressing the filing fee requirement has passed. The Court specifically cautioned Mr. Archibald that his claims could be dismissed if he failed to pay the filing fee or file an application to proceed IFP.
III. Conclusion
The Court recommends that Mr. Archibald's claims be DISMISSED, without prejudice, based on his failure to comply with the Court's July 1, 2019 Order.
DATED, this 1st day of August, 2019.
