Civil Procedure
In one sentence

In Elnenaey v. Fidelity Brokerage, Judge Swain dismissed the complaint without prejudice after Elnenaey neither renewed his fee request nor paid filing fees.

Who this affects

Plaintiff Elsayad A. Elnenaey's complaint was dismissed without prejudice because he did not submit the required amended fee-waiver request or pay the filing fees. Permission to appeal without paying fees was also denied.

What happened

In Elnenaey v. Fidelity Brokerage Services, LLC, the court gave Elsayad A. Elnenaey thirty days to submit an amended request to proceed without paying filing fees or to pay the required filing fees.

Elnenaey did neither. The court therefore dismissed the complaint without prejudice, meaning the dismissal did not bar refiling based on this order.

Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain also ruled that an appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied permission to appeal without paying fees. Judgment was ordered to enter.
