Case No.: 3:17cv392/LAC/EMT
08-21-2017
ALVIN C. THOMPSON, Plaintiff, v. JEFFREY STRALEY, et al., Defendants.
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This cause is before the court upon referral from the clerk. Plaintiff commenced this action by filing a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (ECF No. 1). By order of this court dated June 9, 2017, Plaintiff was given thirty (30) days in which to either submit a completed motion to proceed in forma pauperis on the court-approved form, or, pay the filing fee (ECF No. 5). Plaintiff failed to submit a completed motion or pay the filing fee by the deadline; therefore, on July 17, 2017, the court issued an order requiring Plaintiff to show cause, within twenty-one (21) days, why this action should not be dismissed for failure to comply with an order of the court (ECF No. 6). The time for compliance with the show cause order has now elapsed, and Plaintiff has failed to submit a completed motion to proceed in forma pauperis, pay the filing fee, or show cause for his failure to do so.
Accordingly, it is respectfully RECOMMENDED:
That this case be DISMISSED without prejudice for Plaintiff's failure to comply with an order of the court.
At Pensacola, Florida, this 21st day of August 2017.
