MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
On January 29, 2026, the Court entered the following order: “If [Clint] Phillips wishes
to pursue this action, he must either (1) pay the full $405 filing fee or (2) file a renewed in
forma pauperis motion on the enclosed Court-provided form within 14 days.” ECF 10 at 2.
Phillips did not respond to this order. The 14-day window has now expired.
The Court gave Phillips clear instructions and ample opportunity for compliance. He
nevertheless failed to pay the filing fee or file a renewed motion as ordered. For this reason,
the Court finds that dismissal is warranted under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for
failure to comply with a court order.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is DISMISSED without prejudice
under Rule 41(b). A separate order of dismissal accompanies this memorandum and order.
Dated this 13th day of February, 2026
