DISPOSITION

Plaintiff, Michael Caldwell, filed this action on September 7, 2016. (Doc. No. 1.) On

September 12, 2016, I ordered Plaintiff to submit the $400 statutory filing fee or a completed

Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and Affidavit within thirty days.1(Doc. No. 2.) 

I also warned that his Complaint was deficient and may be dismissed in thirty days, and he was given

an opportunity to amend his Complaint. (Id.) 

More than thirty days have now passed, and Plaintiff has not complied with or otherwise

responded to that Order. He was warned that such failure would result in a recommendation that his

Complaint be dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Local Rule 5.5 (c)(2). (Id.)

IT IS, THEREFORE, RECOMMENDED THAT Plaintiff’s Complaint be DISMISSED

without prejudice for his failure to respond to the Court’s Order. 

1Local Rule of the Court 5.5(c)(2), states:

It is the duty of any party not represented by counsel to promptly notify the Clerk and

the other parties to the proceedings of any change in his or her address, to monitor

the progress of the case, and to prosecute or defend the action diligently. A party

appearing for himself/herself shall sign his/her pleadings and state his/her address,

zip code, and telephone number. If any communication from the Court to a pro se

plaintiff is not responded to within thirty (30) days, the case may be dismissed

without prejudice. Any party proceeding pro se shall be expected to be familiar with

and follow the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Loc. R. 5.5(c)(2).
