JOHN MAPLES, JR., Former Warden,

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

Terese Marie Meadows has filed this pro se § 1983 action alleging that defendants violated
her constitutional rights. On October 6, 2014, the Court gave Meadows thirty days to file an
application to proceed in forma pauperis and a substituted complaint. Importantly, the Court
advised Meadows that, if she failed to timely do so, this case would be dismissed due to a lack of
prosecution. Document #2.
As of today’s date, Meadows has not complied with the October 6, 2014 Order, and the time
for doing so has expired. Therefore, this case is dismissed without prejudice due to a lack of
prosecution. Local Rule 5.5(c)(2); Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). The Court certifies that an in forma
pauperis appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith. 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3).
IT IS SO ORDERED this 12th day of November, 2014.

J. LEON HOLMES
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
