DEFENDANTS

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE Joshua Adam Clapp filed this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. He proceeds pro se and in forma pauperis. On July 10, 2009, Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment (Doc. 15). On January 27, 2010, the undersigned entered an order (Doc. 19) directing the Plaintiff to complete, sign and return an attached questionnaire that would serve as his response to the summary judgment motion. The Plaintiff's response to the questionnaire was to be returned by February 17, 2010. To date, the Plaintiff has failed to respond to the questionnaire. Plaintiff has not sought an extension of time to respond to the questionnaire. The Court's order and attached questionnaire have not been returned as undeliverable. The order was mailed to the address provided by the Plaintiff. Plaintiff has not informed the court of any change in his address. I therefore recommend the case be dismissed on the grounds Plaintiff has failed to prosecute this action and comply with the order of the Court. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). The parties have fourteen (14) days from receipt of the report and recommendation in which
