I. DISCUSSION
On January 16, 2015, this Court ordered Plaintiff to file both his complaint and an application to proceed in forma pauperis within 30 days of the date of that order. (ECF No. 3 at 2).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if Plaintiff does not timely comply with this order, dismissal of this action may result.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall retain the complaint (ECF No. 5), but shall not file it at this time.
