DISPOSITION
Timothy Ryan Booker ("Plaintiff") filed this action on July 6, 2015, without submitting the statutory filing fee or an Application to Proceed Without Prepayment of Fees and Affidavit. (Doc. No. 1.) On July 8, 2015, I ordered Plaintiff to submit either the filing fee or an application within thirty days. (Doc. No. 2.) He was warned that failure to comply would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed without prejudice. (Id. at 2.) The deadline has now passed and Plaintiff has not complied with or otherwise responded to my Order.
IT IS, THEREFORE, RECOMMENDED THAT Plaintiff's Complaint (Doc. No. 1) be DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to Local Rule 5.5 (c)(2).
Local Rule of the Court 5.5(c)(2), states:
It is the duty of any party not represented by counsel to promptly notify the Clerk and the other parties to the proceedings of any change in his or her address, to monitor the progress of the case, and to prosecute or defend the action diligently. A party appearing for himself/herself shall sign his/her pleadings and state his/her address, zip code, and telephone number. If any communication from the Court to a pro se plaintiff is not responded to within thirty (30) days, the case may be dismissed without prejudice. Any party proceeding pro se shall be expected to be familiar with and follow the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
DATED this 21st day of August, 2015.
