Case No. 20-cv-775-DWD

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
DUGAN, District Judge:
On March 21, 2022, the Court directed Plaintiff Joey Seidelman, III, to file an
amended complaint by April 20, 2022. (Doc. 12). To date, the Court has not received an
amended complaint or any other correspondence from Plaintiff. The Court clearly
warned Plaintiff that if he failed to file an amended complaint, his case would be
dismissed with prejudice for failure to state a claim or to comply with a court order.
Accordingly, the Court will dismiss this matter with prejudice for failure to state a claim
and failure to prosecute. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); James v. McDonald’s Corp., 417 F.3d 672,
681 (7th Cir. 2005) (under Rule 41(b) a court has authority to dismiss an action with
prejudice for failure to prosecute if a party does not provide a timely response to a court
order).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: May 6, 2022
