The court extended the deadline for the filing of the complaint, on m o tio n of Plaintiff, to and including October 15, 2008. The requisite time, as extended, has p as sed and Plaintiff has not complied with the order of the court. Consequently, the court c o n c lu d e s that dismissal of this case is appropriate for Plaintiff's failures to prosecute this a c tio n and comply with the orders of the court.
