On February 18, 2026, the Court ordered Plaintiff, Mr. Aaron Corbin Mazie (“Mr.

The Court stated that if Mr. Mazie did not pay the filing fee or file a proper motion to proceed IFP, the Complaint would be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Id. Mr. Mazie has not paid the filing fee or filed a proper motion to proceed IFP. “If the plaintiff fails to prosecute or to comply with these rules or a court order, the court may dismiss on its own motion . . . .” Rules of the Court of Federal Claims, Rule 41(b). Dismissal is the appropriate sanction where a plaintiff is “warned that its complaint was in danger of dismissal but failed to comply with court orders.” Koopmann v. United States, No. 2021-1746, 2022 WL 1073341, at *3 (Fed. Cir. Apr. 11, 2022).
