ORDER
On July 13, 2016, United States Magistrate Judge Gary M. Purcell issued a Report and
Recommendation in this action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The Magistrate Judge
recommended that this action be dismissed for plaintiff’s failure to follow the Court’s orders. 1
Plaintiff was advised of his right to object to this Report and Recommendation by August 2,
2016. A review of the file reveals that no objection has been filed.
Accordingly, upon de novo review, the Court:
(1)

ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation [docket no. 7] issued by the
Magistrate Judge, and

(2)

DISMISSES this action without prejudice for plaintiff’s failure to follow the
Court’s order.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 10th day of August, 2016.

On June 17, 2016, plaintiff was advised that his initial documents were deficient in that
he had not submitted an in forma pauperis application or paid the filing fee and, further, that his
42 U.S.C. § 1983 cause of action was not on the proper form. Plaintiff was directed to cure the
deficiencies by July 5, 2016. Plaintiff was advised that failure to follow the Court’s order would
result in this matter being dismissed without prejudice. To date, plaintiff has failed to follow the
Court’s order.
