in Valdosta, Georgia filed a 42 U.S.C. § l 983 civil rights complaint. ECF No. I. Plaintiff
also filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis without the statutory supporting
documents. ECF No. 2. On September 22, 2022, Plaintiff was ordered to recast his
complaint and was provided detailed instructions on how to do so. ECF No. 4. Plaintiff
was further ordered to either submit the statutmy documents to support his motion to
proceed informa pauperis or pay the full filing fee. Id. Plaintiff was given fourteen (14)
days to respond and was informed that failure to comply would result in dismissal of this
action. Id. Plaintiff failed to respond.
Therefore, on October 18, 2022, the Court notified Plaintiff that it had not received
a recast complaint nor was the filing fee and incomplete motion to proceed in Jonna

pauperis addressed. ECF No. 5. The Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause why this
action should not be dismissed for failure to comply with the Court's previous order. Id.
