Due to the serious and urgent allegations set forth in the Complaint, the Court screened this matter without delay. The Complaint did not survive screening under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, and the Court entered an Order dismissing it on November 4, 2022. (Doc. 4). The Court granted Boler leave to file a First Amended Complaint on or before November 23, 2022. (Id.).

Boler missed the deadline for filing the First Amended Complaint, and he did not seek an extension. He also failed to file an IFP motion or prepay the $402 filing fee for this case. The Court will not allow this matter to linger indefinitely. This action shall be dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with the Court’s Order (Doc. 4) to file a First Amended Complaint and/or to prosecute his claims. See FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b). Boler’s filing fee obligation survives dismissal of this suit. Disposition IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED without prejudice based on
