By Memorandum and Order dated November 28, 2022, the Court dismissed Plaintiff’s complaint without prejudice for failure to comply with Rule 8 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and granted Plaintiff 35 days leave to file an amended complaint. Plaintiff was warned that if he failed to comply with the Order within the time allowed, or cure the deficiencies discussed in the Court’s November 28, 2022, Memorandum and Order, judgment would enter dismissing the action. On January 4, 2023, the Court sua sponte extended Plaintiff’s time to file an amended complaint to February 1, 2023, because Plaintiff had not done so. Plaintiff was again warned that failure to submit an amended complaint by February 1, 2023, will result in the dismissal of Plaintiff’s case. To date, Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. Accordingly, the complaint, filed in forma pauperis, is dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with Rule 8.

(e)(2)(B). The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment, and to mail a copy of this Order to The Court certifies pursuant to

(a)(3) that any appeal would not be taken in good faith and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of any appeal. Coppedge v. United States,

(1962). SO ORDERED.
