Background

Al Moshir filed this civil action. In an order dated December 6, 2023, the court directed Moshir, within 30 days, either to submit a completed and signed application to proceed without paying filing fees or to pay the $402 required to file a civil action in the court. The order warned that failure to comply would result in dismissal.

Court’s Ruling

Moshir did not submit the required application or pay the filing fees. The court therefore dismissed the action without prejudice under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914 and 1915. “Without prejudice” means the dismissal itself does not bar a later filing, although the opinion does not describe any requirements for a later action.

The court certified that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and denied fee-waiver status for purposes of an appeal. It also directed the Clerk of Court to enter a judgment dismissing the action.
