MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

In the Memorandum and Order on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss dated May 31, 2011, I
wrote,
Given the complaint’s deficiencies, and in light of the plaintiff’s failure to
respond to the defendants’ motion to dismiss, it seems to me that a dismissal of the
entire complaint is warranted. Nevertheless, I shall grant the plaintiff leave to file a
motion to amend the complaint. This motion to amend must be filed within twenty
days of the date of this memorandum and order, and it must be accompanied by a
copy of the amended complaint that the plaintiff proposes to file. See NECivR
15.1(a). The proposed amended complaint must identify all defendants in its caption;
specify whether the defendants are sued in their official capacity, individual capacity,
or both; and clearly specify whether any prospective relief is sought. If the plaintiff
does not file a motion to amend within twenty days, this action will be dismissed by
me, sua sponte.
(Mem. & Order at 11, ECF No. 7.)
More than twenty days have elapsed since the date of that order, and the plaintiff has not filed
a motion to amend his complaint. Nor has he filed a motion requesting an extension of the deadline.1
