IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA Richmond Division

MARKESE LEWIS, Plaintiff, v. Civil Action No. 3:21cv470 C/O MCMILLIAN, et al., Defendants.

MEMORANDUM OPINION Plaintiff Markese Lewis, a Virginia inmate proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, filed this

action. In order to state a viable claim under

, a plaintiff must allege that a person acting under color of state law deprived him or her of a constitutional right or of a right conferred by a law of the United States. See Dowe v. Total Action Against Poverty in Roanoke Valley,

(4th Cir. 1998) (citing

). Lewis’s current allegations fail to provide each defendant with fair notice of the facts and legal basis upon which his or her liability rests. See Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly,

(2007). Accordingly, by Memorandum Order entered on November 24, 2021, the Court directed Lewis to submit a particularized complaint within fourteen (14) days of the date of entry thereof. (ECF No. 7.) The Court warned Lewis that the failure to submit the particularized complaint would result in the dismissal of the action. (/d. 2.)

More than fourteen (14) days have elapsed since the entry of the November 24, 2021 Memorandum Order. Lewis has failed to submit a particularized complaint or otherwise respond to the November 24, 2021 Memorandum Order. Accordingly, the action will be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. An appropriate order will accompany this Memorandum Opinion. Date: □ □ [2-do?e M. Hannah L Richmond, Virginia United States District Judge
