Plaintiff Javaris Davis is a federal prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights action. 

I. INTRODUCTION

Plaintiff initiated this action by filing a complaint on December 9, 2024. (Doc. 1.) Plaintiff

On December 11, 2024, the Court issued an “Order Directing Plaintiff To Provide A

authorized by statute or within the inherent power of the Court.” See Local Rule 110. 

Here, Plaintiff has failed to comply with the Court’s December 11, 2024, order. He did not 

respond as directed within 14 days, plus time for mailing, and the time to do so has now passed. 

III. CONCLUSION AND ORDER

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Plaintiff to show cause in writing, within 14 days of 

the date of service of this order, why sanctions should not be imposed for his failure to comply 

with the Court’s December 11, 2024, order. Alternatively, within that same time, Plaintiff may 

file a response to that order as directed on December 11, 2024.

WARNING: A failure to comply with this order may result in a recommendation 

that this action be dismissed, without prejudice, for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with Court 

orders and this Court’s Local Rules and failure to prosecute. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
