REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
ELIZABETH M. TIMOTHY, CHIEF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, commenced this action by filing a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (ECF No. 1). At that time, Plaintiff was an inmate of the Escambia County Jail (Jail) (see id.). On December 16, 2021, the court entered an order directing Plaintiff to file an amended civil rights complaint within thirty days (ECF No. 5). The undersigned directed the clerk of court to send Plaintiff the complaint form and notified Plaintiff that his failure to comply with an order of the court would result in a recommendation of dismissal of this case (see Id. at 19).
Plaintiff did not file an amended complaint by the deadline; therefore, on January 27, 2022, the court issued an order directing Plaintiff to show cause, within thirty days, why this case should not be dismissed for his failure to comply with an order of the court (see ECF No. 6). The court notified Plaintiff that his failure to comply with the order would result in a recommendation of dismissal of this case (id.). The deadline for compliance with the show cause order has passed, and Plaintiff has not responded.
The Jail returned the show cause order with an indication that Plaintiff was not in custody (see ECF No. 7). Plaintiff did not notify the court of his new address. The clerk of court resent the show cause order to Plaintiff's release address indicated on the Jail's public website.
Accordingly, it is respectfully RECOMMENDED that this case be DISMISSED without prejudice for Plaintiff's failure to comply with an order of the court.
