OPINION AND ORDER

WILLIAM S. DUFFEY, Jr., District Judge.

On November 18, 2015, Appellant Frederick Phillips filed his Notice of Appeal [1] from an order entered by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia. On April 1, 2016, the Court entered an Order [3] requiring Appellant to pay, on or before April 15, 2016, the required filing fee of $298. The Court advised Appellant that failure to comply with the Order will result in dismissal of this action pursuant to Local Rule 41.3(A)(2), NDGa, for failure to obey a lawful order of the Court. (Order at 2). The record reflects that Appellant has not paid a filing fee for the appeal.

Rule 8003(3)(C) of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure requires that a notice of appeal must be accompanied by the prescribed fee.

[a] plaintiff . . . shall, after notice, . . . fail or refuse to obey a lawful order of the court in the case." LR 41.3(A)(2), NDGa; see also BLR 7041-1(a)(2), NDGa; In re Arnold, 166 F. App'x 424, 424-25 (11th Cir. 2006) (district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing bankruptcy appeal for failure to comply with the court's order to pay filing fee.)1

Appellant failed to pay the required fee, and failed to comply with the Court's Order after being advised that failure to comply will result in dismissal of this action. This action is dismissed pursuant to Local Rule 41.3(A)(2).

For the foregoing reasons.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED pursuant to Local Rule 41.3(A)(2) for failure to comply with a lawful order of the Court.
