The filing fee is due and payable at the time of filing the notice. Petitioner is allowed to and including February 8, 2016, in which to submit the filing fee, or an order of insolvency, or a proper motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis that complies with sections 57.081 and 57.082, Florida Statutes (2013). Failure to submit the filing fee or one of the above referenced documents to this Court could result in the imposition of sanctions, including dismissal of the notice.
Please understand that once this case is dismissed, it is not subject to reinstatement.
