ORDER

On November 30, 2015, plaintiff in the above-captioned case, Mr. Julian Hood, appearing pro se, filed a complaint in this court. ECF No. 1. Plaintiff also filed with his complaint an application to appear in forma pauperis (IFP), seeking permission to proceed without paying the court's filing fee . Dkt. No. 3.

The court determined that Mr. Hood's assets and history of vexatious litigation barred him from proceeding in forma pauperis pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915, and thus denied his application. Order, Feb. 11, 2016, ECF No. 12. The court provided notice to plaintiff that failure to remit the filing fee by February 19, 2016, would result in dismissal of his complaint pursuant to Rule 41 (b) of the Rules of the United States Court of Federal Claims. Id. at 2-3.

As of the date of this order, plaintiff has not paid the required filing fee. Because plaintiff has failed to comply with the court's order, this action is DISMISSED without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
