ORDER DISMISSING ACTION FOR 

FAILURE TO OBEY A COURT ORDER 

AND FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM

(ECF No. 11)

Plaintiff Kenneth Ardell Smith (“Plaintiff”) is a former state prisoner proceeding pro se 

and in forma pauperis in this civil rights action. Plaintiff initiated this action on May 27, 2014. 

Plaintiff consented to the jurisdiction of the Magistrate Judge. (ECF No. 5.) 

On January 14, 2015, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint with leave to amend 

within thirty days after service. 28 U.S.C. § 1915A. Plaintiff was warned that if he failed to file 

an amended complaint in compliance with the order, this action would be dismissed for failure to 

obey a court order and failure to state a claim. 

The deadline for Plaintiff to file his amended complaint has passed and Plaintiff has not 

complied with 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.
