Sanders v. USA

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
Christopher Sanders,
a/k/a Gunna, a/k/a Amir
v. Case No. 17-cv-223-JD
United States of America
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff Christopher Sanders initially filed this action
in the District of New Jersey. See Sanders v. United States,
Civ. No. 17-2595 (RMB) (D.N.J.). With his complaint (Doc. No.
1), Sanders filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis
and supporting paperwork (Doc. Nos. 1-2, 2). The District of
New Jersey transferred the case to this Court without ruling on
Sanders’s application for in forma pauperis status. See June 7,
2017 Order (Doc. No. 4).
After the case was transferred, this court issued a
“Procedural Order in Transferred Cases,” notifying Sanders that
any motions he had filed in the District of New Jersey would not
be considered unless they are refiled in this court. See June
9, 2017 Order (Doc. No. 6). On June 13, 2017 this court issued
another Order (Doc. No. 7) directing Sanders to pay the filing
fee or submit an application for in forma pauperis status to
Case 1:17-cv-00223-JD Document 10 Filed 10/27/17 Page 1 of 2

this court by August 14, 2017. Having received nothing from
Sanders by that date, the court, on August 17, 2017, extended
the deadline for Sanders to comply with the June 13, 2017 Order
to September 18, 2017.
The plaintiff has failed to pay the necessary filing fee or
file an application to proceed in forma pauperis in this case,
as directed by the court. Accordingly, the district judge
should dismiss this case without prejudice.
Any objections to this Report and Recommendation must be
filed within fourteen days of receipt of this notice. See Fed.
R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2). The fourteen-day period may be extended
upon motion. Failure to file specific written objections to the
Report and Recommendation within the specified time waives the
right to appeal the district court’s order. See Santos-Santos
v. Torres-Centeno, 842 F.3d 163, 168 (1st Cir. 2016); Fed. R.
Civ. P. 72(b)(2).
