ORDER
Plaintiff, David M. Clark, was a prisoner in the Greene County Detention
Facility when he filed this pro se § 1983. See Doc. #2. In April of 2013, Plaintiff
was released from custody without paying all of the $350 filing fee or providing a
forwarding address. See Doc. #37.
Accordingly, on May 13, 2013, the Court entered an Order giving Plaintiff
thirty days to file: (1) a freeworld In Forma Pauperis Application; and (2) a Statement
indicating whether he wanted to continue with this lawsuit. See Doc. #39.
Importantly, the Court advised Plaintiff that the failure to timely and properly do so
would result in the dismissal of his case, without prejudice, pursuant to Local Rule
5.5(c)(2). Id.
As of the date of this Order of Dismissal, Plaintiff has failed to comply with the

May 13, 2013 Order, and the time for doing so has expired.1
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:
1.

Pursuant to Local Rule 5.5(c)(2), this case is DISMISSED, WITHOUT

PREJUDICE, due to Plaintiff’s failure to timely and properly comply with the May
13, 2013 Order.
2.

The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma

pauperis appeal from this Order would not be taken in good faith.
Dated this 19th day of June, 2013.

Plaintiff did not receive the May 13, 2013 Order, which was mailed to his last
known address at the Greene County Detention Facility. See Doc. #43. However,
Plaintiff previously received a January 29, 2013 Order explaining his obligations
under Local Rule 5.5(c)(2), and the consequences of failing to comply with that rule.
See Doc. #4.
