IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA PENSACOLA DIVISION JAMES M. WARREN, Plaintiff, vs. STATE OF FLORIDA, Defendant. __________________________________/ REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION This cause is before the court upon referral from the clerk. Plaintiff commenced this action by filing a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Doc. 1). On July 16, 2009, this court entered an order giving Plaintiff thirty (30) days in which to pay the filing fee or submit a properly completed motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. 6). Plaintiff failed to respond to the order; therefore, on August 20, 2009, the court issued an order requiring Plaintiff to show cause, within twenty (20) days, why this action should not be dismissed for failure to comply with an order of the court (Doc. 9). The time for compliance with the show cause order has now elapsed and Plaintiff has not paid the filing fee or submitted a properly completed motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Accordingly, it is respectfully RECOMMENDED: That this case be DISMISSED without prejudice for Plaintiff's failure to comply with an order of the court. At Pensacola, Florida, this 15th day of September 2009. Case No. 3:09cv272/LAC/EMT
