FREDRICK STEELE,

vs. ORDER DISMISSING ACTION

KEN CLARK, et al.,

Defendants.

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in a civil rights action

pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff has consented to magistrate judge jurisdiction pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1). 

On October 21, 2009, Plaintiff was ordered to submit an application to proceed in forma

pauperis. Plaintiff failed to comply with the court’s order, and on December 8, 2009, an order to

show cause was entered, directing Plaintiff to show cause why this action should not be

dismissed pursuant to Local Rule 11-110 for his failure to prosecute. Plaintiff was specifically

cautioned that his failure to respond would result in dismissal of this action. The thirty day

period in which to respond has passed, and Plaintiff has failed to file a response to the order to

show cause. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is dismissed without prejudice
