MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
GILBERT, District Judge:
This action came before the Court on Plaintiff Frank Thomas’s Complaint filed August 9,
2016 (Doc. 1). On September 1, 2016, this Court dismissed Thomas’s Complaint for failure to
state a claim and provided him with leave to amend by October 7, 2016 (Doc. 6). The September
1st Order cautioned that a failure to file an Amended Complaint would result in dismissal of the
action with prejudice (Id.). To date, the Court has not received an amended complaint. In light of
the insufficiency of Thomas’s initial filings, and his failure to comply with the Court’s order in
the time allotted, the Court has rendered the following decision:
IT IS ORDERED AND ADJUDGED this action is DISMISSED. Dismissal is with
prejudice, and shall count as a strike for purposes of 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g). The Clerk of the
Court is DIRECTED to enter Judgment in favor of the Defendants and against Plaintiff Thomas.
DATED: October 25, 2016
s/ J. Phil Gilbert
United States District Judge
