Jarrar v. Evergreen Shipping: Chief Judge Swain dismissed the action without prejudice after Jarrar neither paid the filing fee nor submitted an application to proceed without paying fees.
Mohammad Jarrar’s action was dismissed without prejudice. The court also denied permission to appeal without paying fees.
What happened
In Mohammad Jarrar v. Evergreen Shipping Agency (America) Corp., the court ordered Jarrar to submit an application to proceed without paying filing fees or pay the required $405 in fees within 30 days.
Jarrar did neither. The court therefore dismissed the action without prejudice, meaning the order did not bar a new filing based on this dismissal.
Chief Judge Laura Taylor Swain also ruled that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied permission to appeal without paying fees. The clerk was directed to enter judgment dismissing the action.
