(Doc. # 7). The court warned plaintiff that if he failed to pay the filing fee within the time allowed, this action may be dismissed. In the absence of an order allowing him to proceed in forma pauperis , plaintiff must pay the civil action filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1914, 1915. Plaintiff has not paid the filing fee and has not sought an extension of time to do so.
