Jusino v. Doe: Judge Swain dismissed the complaint without prejudice because Jusino neither paid filing fees nor submitted required forms.
Christian Jusino's complaint was dismissed without prejudice because he did not submit the required filing forms or pay the $405 filing fee. His request to proceed without paying fees on appeal was also denied.
What happened
In Christian Jusino v. Doe, the court ordered Jusino to submit forms requesting permission to proceed without paying filing fees and authorizing deductions from a prisoner account, or to pay the required $405 filing fee. The order warned that failing to comply would lead to dismissal.
Jusino did not submit the required forms or pay the fee. The court therefore dismissed the complaint without prejudice, meaning the dismissal does not bar a new filing.
The court also ruled that an appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied permission to proceed without fees on appeal. Judge Laura Taylor Swain directed the Clerk of Court to enter judgment.
