MINUTE ORDER of 1/7/05 by Hon. David H. Coar: Verdict Form
B. Jury verdict returned in favor of the plaintiff and
against the defendant. Without taking into consideration
the questions of reduction of damages due to the negligence
of plaintiff, Patrick Walsh, we find the total amount of
damages suffered by Patrick Walsh as a proximate result of
the occurance in question is $330,667.00 The percentage of
negligence attributable solely to the action of Patrick
Walsh is 25 percent. Therefore, after reduction, the total
judgment is entered in favor of Walsh and against the
defendant is the sum of $247,992.75. Special interrogatory
- No - The evidence does not prove the elements by a
preponderance of the evidence. Trial ends - Jury.

Order of 11/30/04, the court directed the plaintiff both
to: (1) either file a renewed application to proceed in
forma pauperis or pay the full $150 filing fee; and (2)
submit an amended complaint (along with a judge's copy and
service copies). The plaintiff was forewarned that failure
to comply within thirty days would result in summary
dismissal of this case. Nevertheless, over thirty days have
elapsed and the plaintiff has not responded to the court's
order. Accordingly, the case is terminated pursuant to
Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b). However, having brought this action,
the plaintiff nevertheless remains obligated to pay the
full filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. Section 1915(b)(1).
Nonpayment may affect the plaintiff's ability to bring
future suits in forma pauperis. See Thurman v. Gramley, 97
