Opinion
Civil Action No. 3:15CV750-HEH
01-27-2016
MITCHELL D. RICH, Plaintiff, v. UNKNOWN, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
(Dismissing Action Without Prejudice)
On December 21, 2015, the Court conditionally docketed Plaintiff's action. Plaintiff filed his action on the form for bringing a writ of habeas corpus; however, Plaintiff appeared to challenge his conditions of confinement. Accordingly, the Court directed Plaintiff to complete and return the forms for filing a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint within fifteen (15) days of the date of entry of the December 21, 2015 Memorandum Order. More than fifteen (15) days have passed and Plaintiff has neither returned the form nor otherwise responded. Plaintiff's disregard of the Court's directives warrants dismissal of the action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Accordingly, the action will be dismissed without prejudice.
An appropriate Order shall accompany this Memorandum Opinion.
