which to file an amended complaint. (ECF No. 11.) The thirty day period has expired, and 

Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint or otherwise responded to the Court’s order. As a 

result, there is no pleading on file which sets forth any claims upon which relief may be granted. 

Accordingly, Plaintiff shall show cause within fourteen (14) days as to why this action 

should not be dismissed. Plaintiff is cautioned that that failure to comply with this order will 

result in dismissal of this action for failure to comply with a court order and failure to state a 

cognizable claim upon which relief may be granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
