The Story So Far
Chief District Judge R. Stan Baker denied two motions filed by John Randall Futch to proceed in forma pauperis. The court adopted the magistrate judge's report and recommendations as its opinion.
The motions sought permission for Futch to file without paying the usual court fees. The judge directed Futch to pay the required filing fee within 21 days of the order's service date. The order was entered on February 25, 2026.
The case remains active, but Futch must comply with the fee requirement to continue. The court has not disclosed the underlying claims or the case docket number. The denial signals the court's unwillingness to waive fees for this plaintiff at this stage.
Without payment, the case risks dismissal for failure to prosecute. The next procedural steps depend on Futch's response to the fee directive. The court's order reflects a routine gatekeeping function to manage court resources and deter frivolous filings.
