Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY CASE SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE AND OBEY COURT ORDERS
Pro se Plaintiff Eric Walter Gray, filed a Civil Rights Complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (the “Complaint”), proceeding in forma pauperis. (Dkt. No. 1.) On May 10, 2024, the Court dismissed the Complaint with leave to amend and granted Plaintiff leave to file a First Amended Complaint by no later than May 31, 2024. (Dkt. No. 27.) As of the date of this order, the Court has not received a First Amended Complaint or any response from Plaintiff to the Order Dismissing Complaint with Leave to Amend.
Plaintiff is hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and obey court orders. Plaintiff must file a written response by no later than September 13, 2024. Plaintiff may respond to this Order to Show Cause by (a) filing a First Amended Complaint; or (b) filing a statement with the Court indicating the desire to continue to move forward with the Complaint despite the weaknesses noted by the Court in the Order Dismissing with Leave to Amend.
Plaintiff is expressly warned that failure to timely file a response to this Order to Show Cause may result in a recommendation to the District Judge that this action be dismissed with prejudice for failure to state a claim, failure to prosecute and failure to obey Court orders pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
