On September 21, 2021, the Court entered an Order in which it directed Plaintiff, by October 21, 2021, to either: (1) pay the $402 filing and administrative fee; or (2) complete and sign the in forma pauperis application, have an authorized prison official complete and sign the trust fund account certificate and calculation sheet, and return all forms to the Clerk. (Doc. 3 at 3). The Court warned Plaintiff that his failure to comply with the Order would cause his Complaint to be dismissed. (/d.). Plaintiff has not complied with or otherwise responded to the September 21, 2021 Order, and the time for doing so has passed. Accordingly, Plaintiff's Complaint is DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to Local Rule 5.5(c)(2) and Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Link v. Wabash R.R. Co.,
