MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
REAGAN, District Judge:
On February 24, 2011, Plaintiff filed a complaint with this Court pursuant to 42
U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff was informed on June 20, 2011 that his complaint failed to provide enough
information for the Court to make a determination of his claims, and was ordered to file an amended
complaint by July 20, 2011 (Doc. 2). Plaintiff then filed a motion on July 11, 2011 asking the Court
to provide him with a copy of his original complaint, and an additional 30 days to file his amended
complaint (Doc. 3). The Court granted this motion on July 25, provided Plaintiff with a copy of his
original complaint, and extended the deadline to file his amended complaint to August 23, 2011
(Doc. 6). This date has since passed, and Plaintiff has not filed his amended complaint with this
Court. Following Plaintiff’s failure to comply with this Court’s order in the time allotted,
The Court DISMISSES this action without prejudice for failure to comply with an
order of this Court. FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b); see generally James v. McDonald’s Corp., 471 F.3d
672, 681 (7th Cir. 2005); Ladien v. Astrachan, 128 F.3d 1051 (7th Cir. 1997). The Clerk is directed
to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED this 22nd day of September, 2011
