MOTION to Consolidate Civil Actions (with Cause Number 1:20-cv-01221-JMS-DLP), filed by Plaintiff PIERRE Q. PULLINS. (DWH) (Entered: 06/01/2020)

CONSENT to Jurisdiction to US Magistrate Judge by PIERRE Q. PULLINS. (DWH) (Entered: 06/02/2020)

Order - Pro se Plaintiff Pierre Pullins filed a Complaint on May 5, 2020, without paying the filing fee. (ECF No. 1). This Court therefore ordered Pullins to either pay the $400.00 filing fee or demonstrate that he lacks the financial ability to do so by June 15, 2020. (ECF No. 3). As of the date of this Order, Pullins has neither paid the filing fee nor requested to proceed in forma pauperis. Instead, he filed a Motion to Consolidate Civil Actions (ECF No. 4). Pullins requests the Court consolidate this action with cause number 1:20-cv-01221-JMS-DLP. Local Rule 42-1 requires a party seeking to consolidate two or more civil actions to file the motion in the case with the earliest docket dumber and to file a notice of the motion in all the other cases. Pullins filed a Motion to Consolidate Civil Actions (ECF No. 7) in cause number 1:20-cv-01221-JMS-DLP, the earlier cause number, which was denied. (ECF No. 11). Therefore, the Court will construe the motion before this Court ECF No. 4 as a notice, in accordance with Local Rule 42-1, and denies it as moot. The Court further notes that Pullins has not yet paid the filing fee nor demonstrated his lack of ability to do so. Pullins shall have until July 14, 2020 to pay the filing fee or file a motion for leave to proceed without paying the filing fee using the forms sent to him in the Court's previous Order.
