P L A IN T IF F

II.

B ackground O n November 30, 2009, Plaintiff brought this action pro se under 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (docket entry #1). Upon review of the record, the Court noted that Plaintiff had n o t filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis or paid the statutory filing fee. On December 2, 2009, this Court ordered Plaintiff to submit a motion to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the statutory filing fee within thirty (30) days from the entry of th e December 2, 2009 Order (#2). In addition, this Court ordered Plaintiff to file an a m e n d e d complaint adequately stating a claim against the named Defendants. On December 14, 2009, Plaintiff filed an incomplete motion to proceed in forma p a u p e ris (#4), a motion for extension of time to file an amended complaint (#5), and a m o tio n to amend her complaint (#6). On December 21, 2009, this Court denied P la in tiff's incomplete motion to proceed in forma pauperis, granted Plaintiff's request for a n extension of time, and ordered Plaintiff to submit a complete motion to proceed in fo r m a pauperis within thirty days, and an amended complaint within twenty-one days, of th e entry of the Order (#7). In addition, this Court recommended denial of Plaintiff's m o tio n to amend (#9). The District Court adopted this recommendation on January 22, 2 0 1 0 (#11). P la in tiff has failed to submit a motion to proceed in forma pauperis or pay the s ta tu to ry filing fee, and the time to do so has passed. In addition, Plaintiff has failed to file an amended complaint adequately stating a claim against the named defendants. Despite an extension of time, Plaintiff has failed to comply with this Court's Orders (#2 2

and #7). Accordingly, Plaintiff's Complaint (#1) should be dismissed without prejudice u n d e r Local Rule 5.5(c)(2). III. C o n c lu s io n T h e Court recommends that the District Court dismiss the Complaint (#1) without p re ju d ic e , under Local Rule 5.5(c)(2), for failure to comply with the Court's Orders of December 2, 2009 (#2), and December 21, 2009 (#7). D A T E D this 22nd day of January, 2010.
