Brodeur v. NH, State of et al

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
Christopher Brodeur
v. 	Case No. 19-cv-187-JL
State of New Hampshire et al.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff, Christopher Brodeur, filed this action on
February 20, 2019, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 	As Brodeur’s
complaint (Doc. No. 1) was not accompanied by a filing fee, the
court directed Brodeur to either pay the filing fee in this
matter or to complete an application to proceed in forma
pauperis. 	See Feb. 21, 2019 Notice (Doc. No. 2). 	Since then,
Brodeur has filed an addendum (Doc. No. 3) to his complaint and
a “Motion for a Bit More Due Process” (Doc. No. 4). 	Brodeur did
not, however, pay his filing fee or file an application to
proceed in forma pauperis.
On December 5, 2019, the court issued another Order
directing Brodeur to pay the filing fee or file an application
to proceed in forma pauperis in this matter, by January 6, 2020.
Brodeur has done neither, and he has not otherwise responded to
the December 5, 2019 Order.
For the foregoing reasons, 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).
