On November 5, 2021, this Court issued a Minute Order identifying deficiencies in the Petition, dismissing the Petition with leave to amend, and giving Petitioner until November 26, 2021, to file a First Amended Petition. Dkt. 3 at 1–2.

On January 4, 2022, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause giving Plaintiff until January 25, 2022, to show why this action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Dkt. 6. Plaintiff was warned that “failure to follow [the Court’s] instructions may result in the case being dismissed.”

Id.

(emphasis in original). To date, Petitioner has failed to comply with the Court’s Minute Order or otherwise correspond with the Court.

Accordingly, Petitioner shall file a First Amended Petition within fourteen (14) days of this Order, by February 23, 2022, or this action will be dismissed for failure to prosecute.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
