ORDER DISMISSING CASE
SAYLOR, J.
This is an action arising from the closure of a bank account held by plaintiff Rafael
Fernandez at Santander Bank. The two-page complaint alleges that Santander refused to return
the funds in the account to him. However, it was devoid of basic facts relevant to plaintiffs’
claims. Therefore, defendant moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim. On
January 3, 2018, the Court denied the motion without prejudice and entered an order instructing
plaintiffs to file an amended complaint containing more specific factual allegations by January
26, 2018, or the action would be dismissed. Plaintiffs subsequently moved for additional time to
file an amended complaint. (Docket No. 11). The Court granted plaintiffs’ motion, extending
the deadline to February 16, 2018. (Docket No. 12). In light of plaintiffs’ pro se status, on
February 23, 2018, the Court again extended the deadline to March 8, 2018, warning that failure
to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint. (Docket No. 14).
However, to date plaintiffs have not filed an amended complaint. Accordingly, the
complaint is DISMISSED.

So Ordered.
