ORDER
Pro se Plaintiff Mark Ellis Miller, a prisoner confined in Baldwin State Prison in Hardwick, Georgia filed a
42 U.S.C. § 1983civil rights complaint. ECF No. 1. Plaintiff also filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis without the statutory supporting documents. ECF No. 2. On September 1, 2022, Plaintiff was ordered to recast his complaint and was provided detailed instructions on how to do so. ECF No. 5. Plaintiff was further ordered to either submit the statutory documents to support his motion to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the full filing fee.
Id.Plaintiff was given fourteen (14) days to respond and was informed that failure to comply would result in dismissal of this action.
Id.Plaintiff failed to respond. Therefore, on September 23, 2022, the Court notified Plaintiff that it had not received a recast complaint nor was the filing fee and incomplete motion to proceed in forma pauperis addressed. ECF No. 6. The Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure to comply with the Court’s previous order.
Id.The Court unambiguously informed Plaintiff that this action would be dismissed if he failed to comply with this Court’s orders.
Id.Plaintiff was given fourteen (14) days to
respond.
Id.Plaintiff once again did not respond. Because Plaintiff has failed to comply with the Court’s orders or otherwise prosecute his case, this complaint is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); Brown v. Tallahassee Police Dep’t,
205 F. App’x 802, 802(11th Cir. 2006) (“The court may dismiss an action sua sponte under Rule 41(b) for failure to prosecute or failure to obey a court order.”) (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) and Lopez v.
Aransas Cty. Indep. Sch. Dist.,
570 F.2d 541, 544(5th Cir. 1978)).
