Dear Appellant: This appeal was docketed today. Attorneys for parties must complete and file an entry of appearance form within 10 days from the date of this letter. Pro se parties must complete and file the form within 30 days from the date of this letter. See 10th Cir. R. 46.1. Appellant's failure to enter an appearance may cause the appeal to be dismissed. An appellee who fails to enter an appearance may not receive notice or service of orders. In addition, please note that under the Prisoner Litigation Reform Act prisoners are required to pay the full amount of the filing fee. See 28 U.S.C. 1915. The court must assess, and have the warden collect, partial filing fees. There are other requirements of prisoners under the statute. They include, but are not limited to, providing a certified copy of your trust fund statement for the preceding six months, and consenting to the collection of the funds from your account by your custodian. The $5.00 filing fee and $450.00 docket fee were not paid to the district clerk when the notice of appeal was filed as required by Fed. R. App. P. 3(e). Unless the fees are paid to the district clerk or an application for leave to proceed without prepayment of fees is made to the district court, within 30 days of the date of this letter, this appeal may be dismissed without further notice. See 10th Cir. R. 3.3(B). Prisoners are reminded that to invoke the prison mailbox rule they must immediately file a declaration in compliance with 28 U.S.C.
