ORDER

On November 23, 2015, Plaintiff William Parker was ordered to file an amended
complaint within thirty days. (Docket entry #5) His November 13, 2015 complaint (#2) could
not proceed as written because it included multiple, unrelated claims that could not reasonably
be tried in one lawsuit.
On December 15, 2015, Mr. Parker filed notice of a new address, but did not file an
amended complaint, as ordered. (#12) On January 15, 2016, the Court allowed Mr. Parker an
additional thirty days to file an amended complaint. (#14) Mr. Parker was specifically
cautioned that if he failed to respond, he risked having his claims dismissed, without prejudice,
based on his failure to prosecute.
To date, Mr. Parker has not amended his complaint or otherwise responded to the January
15, 2016 Order, and the time for doing so has passed. Accordingly, this case is DISMISSED for
failure to prosecute and failure to comply with the court’s January 15, 2016 Order.1
IT IS SO ORDERED this 19th day of February, 2016.
