ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff Russell A. Merinar, a formerly incarcerated state prisoner, filed this pro

se civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 regarding the conditions of his confinement

at the Correctional Training Facility. After Plaintiff failed to appear or to contact the

Court regarding his non-appearance at a settlement conference scheduled subsequent to

Plaintiff’s motion seeking such a proceeding, the Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause

within twenty days of the Court’s order why the case should not be dismissed for failure

to prosecute and to notify the Court of his continued intent to prosecute this action. 

Plaintiff was also informed that failure to timely file a response to the Court's order

would result in the dismissal of this action without prejudice for failure to prosecute. See

Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).

Since the Court’s order was filed on September 5, 2007, Plaintiff has failed to

contact the Court and to respond to the Court’s order. Accordingly, this case is

DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to prosecute and to comply with a court order

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). See Link v. Wabash R.R., 370 U.S.
