Order, nor sought an enlargement of time to do so. Thus, the Court finds Plaintiff has

Because the Court is dismissing this action without

ORDERED:
1. Plaintiff Rayvon Boatman’s case is DISMISSED without prejudice.
2. The Clerk of Court shall enter judgment, terminate any pending motions as
moot, and close the file.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida this 2nd day of June 2020.
