ORDER
VERNON S. BRODERICK, United States District Judge:
On June 11, 2021-after I granted several extensions-Defendant The City of New York issued a letter in response to my Valentin order naming the Correction Officer initially identified as “John Doe” in Plaintiff's complaint. (Doc. 17.) That same day, I instructed Plaintiff to file an amended complaint naming the John Doe Defendant on or before July 12, 2021, (Doc. 18)-a 30-day deadline that I had mentioned in previous orders, (see Docs. 12, 14). Plaintiff missed this deadline. I issued a subsequent order on July 16, 2021, stating that in light of Plaintiff's pro se status, and the multiple extensions Defendant received, I believed that Plaintiff was entitled additional time to file his amended complaint. (Doc. 19.) In that order, I directed Plaintiff to file an amended complaint on or before August 6, 2021, and noted that Plaintiff risked dismissal of his case for failure to prosecute if he failed to meet the new deadline. Plaintiff has missed this second deadline, and has not requested an extension or otherwise taken any action to prosecute this case. Accordingly, it is hereby:
ORDERED that this case is hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for Plaintiff to re-file his complaint in the future.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk's office is directed to mail a copy of this Order to the pro se Plaintiff and to terminate this case.
SO ORDERED.
