MARCUS WASHINGTON, #14278, Plaintiff, v. CHIEF CANTREL, Blount County Detention Facility, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM
On January 27, 2015, the Court screened this pro se prisoner's civil rights complaint, as required by 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2) and 1915A, to determine whether it stated a claim, or was frivolous or malicious or sought monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief [Doc. 3]. The complaint, brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, failed to state a claim, but Plaintiff was offered a chance to amend his pleading and forewarned that, unless he did so within 20 days, his case would be dismissed [Id. pp. 7-8].
More than 20 days have passed since entry of that order, and Plaintiff has failed to amend his complaint or otherwise respond. Accordingly, this action will be DISMISSED for failure to state a claim entitling Plaintiff to relief under § 1983.
A SEPARATE ORDER WILL ENTER.
