UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA GAINESVILLE DIVISION

CHARLES EDWARD WILLIAMS, Plaintiff,

v. Case No.: 1:24cv153/MW/ZCB

HIGH SPRINGS POLICE DEPARTMENT, Defendants. / REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, commenced this action by filing a civil rights complaint under

. (Doc. 1). On October 2, 2024, the Court entered an order directing Plaintiff to file an amended civil rights complaint within twenty-one days. (Doc. 8). The Court directed the Clerk of Court to send Plaintiff the complaint form and notified Plaintiff that his failure to comply with an order of the Court would result in a recommendation of dismissal of this case. (Id. at 9). Plaintiff did not file an amended complaint by the deadline. Therefore, on October 25, 2024, the Court issued an order giving Plaintiff fourteen days to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for his failure to comply with a Court order. (Doc. 9). The Court notified Plaintiff that his failure to show cause would result in a recommendation

of dismissal. (Id.). The deadline for compliance with the show cause order has passed, and Plaintiff has not responded. Accordingly, it is respectfully RECOMMENDED that this case be

DISMISSED without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with an order of the Court. See N.D. Fla. Loc. R. 41.1 (authorizing dismissal if a “party fails to comply with an applicable rule or a court order”); see

also Duong Thanh Ho v. Costello,

, 914-15 (11th Cir. 2018) (affirming dismissal where pro se plaintiff failed to file an amended complaint as directed).

At Pensacola, Florida, this 12th day of November 2024.
