ORDER
In its 25 July 2011 Order, the Court denied Jones's motion to proceed in

forma pauperis for defects in the application. Document No.3. The Court
ordered Jones to submit a properly completed application within thirty days,
and warned that otherwise Jones's case would be dismissed under Local Rule
5.5(c)(2). Jones has not filed that application; he has filed a letter repeating his
requests for in forma pauperis status and for relief.
Local Rule 5.5(c)(2) provides that:
It is the duty of any party not represented by counsel to promptly notify

the Clerk and the other parties to the proceedings of any change in his
or her address, to monitor the progress of the case, and to prosecute or

defend the action diligently.... If any communication from the Court
to a pro se plaintiff is not responded to within thirty (30) days, the case
may be dismissed without prejudice....
In light of Jones's failure to comply with the Court's 25 July 2011 Order, his
complaint is dismissed without prejudice.
So Ordered.

D.P. Marshall Jr.

United States District Judge
