DISMISS

(Doc. 61)

Plaintiff Mel Tyrone Edward (“plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma

pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On March 8, 2005, pursuant to the

unenumerated portion of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b), defendants Ethridge and Heidt filed

a motion to dismiss for failure to exhaust the administrative remedies. More than twenty-one days

have passed and plaintiff has not filed a response to defendants’ motion. Local Rule 78 -230(m).

Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Within thirty (30) days from the date of service of this order, plaintiff shall file an

opposition or a statement of non-opposition to defendants’ motion to dismiss; and

2. If plaintiff fails to respond to defendants’ motion in compliance with this order, this

action shall be dismissed for failure to obey a court order and failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
