MEMORANDUM OPINION
The Court previously concluded that Plaintiff Michael Lee Burgess, a “prisoner”
as that term is defined in 28 U.S.C. § 1915(h), had struck out under § 1915(g). Doc. [3].
The Court ordered him to prepay the filing fee in the case in full no later than July 17,
2025. 	He did not do so. 	Nor has he sought more time to do so. 	For this reason, the
Court will dismiss this action via an Order of Dismissal that the Clerk shall enter
herewith. 	See Hutchins v. A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc., 116 F.3d 1256, 1259 (8th Cir.
1997) (“A district court has the power to dismiss a litigant’s cause of action when the
litigant fails to comply with the court’s orders.”).
Dated this 10th day of February 2026.
