MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

DUGAN, District Judge: On February 17, 2022, the Court directed Plaintiff Luke Alexander Prindable to file an amended complaint by March 21, 2022. (Doc. 19). On February 28, 2022, Plaintiff sought a lengthy extension to file his amended complaint, which the Court denied as premature. (Docs. 20, 21). On April 11, 2022, the Court had not yet received anything from Plaintiff, so Plaintiff was given a final warning and an additional seven days to file an amended complaint. It is now April 27, 2022, and the Court still has not received any further correspondence from Plaintiff about the case. The Court clearly warned Plaintiff that if he failed to file an amended complaint, his case would be dismissed with prejudice for failure to state a claim or to comply with a court order. Accordingly, the Court will dismiss this matter with prejudice for failure to state a claim and failure to prosecute. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); James v. McDonald’s Corp.,

(7th Cir. 2005) (under Rule 41(b) a court has authority to dismiss an action with prejudice for failure to prosecute if a party does not provide a timely response to a court order).

IT IS SO ORDERED. Lb i Qn an Dated: April 27, 2022 DAVID W. DUGAN United States District Judge
