The Complaint did not survive screening under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A, and the Court dismissed it without prejudice on April 10, 2025. (Doc. 13). Plaintiff was granted leave to file a First Amended Complaint by May 20, 2025. He was warned that the action would be dismissed for failure to comply with a court order and/or for want of prosecution if he failed to do so. Plaintiff was also warned that said dismissal would result in a “strike” under

28 U.S.C. § 1915

More than a week has passed since this deadline expired, and the Court has received no communication from him in this case. The Court will not allow this matter to linger indefinitely. This action shall be dismissed with prejudice for failure to comply with the Court’s Order (Doc. 13) and/or to prosecute his claims. See FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b). The dismissal counts as one of Plaintiff’s three allotted “strikes” within the meaning of § 1915(g). Disposition IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is DISMISSED with prejudice based on

Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the Court’s Order (Doc. 13) to file a First Amended Complaint; he has failed to prosecute his claims herein. See FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b); Ladien v. Astrachan,
