Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

TAMPA DIVISION

ELENA PAUL,

Plaintiff, v. Case No. 8:21-cv-983-T-KKM-JSS KAREN RUSHING, et al.,

Defendants. /

ORDER

An order dated April 26, 2021, directs Plaintiff Elena Paul to file a complaint that complies with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and either (a) pay the $402 filing fee or (b) file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis. (Doc. 2). Paul’s deadline to do so was May 10. (Id.). That deadline passed, and Paul failed to perform either action. What is more, a review of Paul’s “response” and attachments shows that allowing her more time to file a complaint that complies with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure would be futile. See Thomason v. Ala. Home Builders Licensure Bd., 741 F. App’x 638, 641 (11th Cir. 2018) (“Amendment [of pro se complaint] would have been futile because the proposed amended complaint consisted of 106 pages of largely incomprehensible assertions, analysis, and conclusions.”). As a result, this case is DISMISSED with prejudice. The Clerk is directed to terminate any pending motions and deadlines and to close this case. ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, on May 13, 2021. pa Mizelle
