ORDER DISMISSING CASE FOR LACK OF PROSECUTION
On July 22, 2005, Plaintiff Stefan Olaru, acting pro se, submitted for filing his Complaint against the Brown Brown law firm and Steven D. Brown, individually, along with an In Forma Pauperis Application to proceed with this action without prepayment of fees. On August 15, 2005, the Court entered an Order denying the IFP application and sent Plaintiff a Notice advising him that if he wished to proceed with his case he needed to forward to the Clerk's office his payment of $250.00 and that he would then have to serve each defendant with a Summons and copy of his Complaint. Pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.Pro. 4(j), the time Plaintiff to do so expired on November 20, 2005. Plaintiff did not pay the filing fee and took no action during the 120 day-period provided in Rule 4(j) to extend the time for service upon the Defendants.
No action having been taken by Plaintiff with regard to this action since the time of submitting his Complaint for filing in July 2005,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.Pro. 4(j), this action be, and, hereby is, DISMISSED without prejudice.
