v.
DEPUTY TRAWALLY et al.,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM DECISION
& DISMISSAL ORDER
Case No. 2:25-CV-949 TS
District Judge Ted Stewart
Plaintiff, Kuiante Devon Howard, filed a civil-rights complaint, under 42 U.S.C.S. §
1983 (2025). (ECF No. 1 (Oct. 24, 2025).) Based on Plaintiff's successful motion to proceed
without prepaying the court filing fee, Plaintiff was required in an October 29, 2025 Order to pay
an initial partial filing fee (IPFF) of $14.60. (ECF Nos. 2-5.) When Plaintiff failed to pay the
IPFF, on December 5, 2024, the Court issued an order for Plaintiff to show cause within thirty
days why this action should not be dismissed. (ECF No. 5.) Another month later, Plaintiff has
neither paid the IPFF, nor responded to the Order to Show Cause. (Id.) Indeed, the Court has not
heard from Plaintiff since October 24, 2025, when Plaintiff filed his Complaint.1 (ECF No. 1.)
1Plaintiff's Financial Certificate, received October 29, 2025, was sent by Salt Lake County Jail's inmate
accounting office. (ECF No. 4.)
