Case No. CIV-17-5-M

ORDER
On May 26, 2017, United States Magistrate Judge Charles B. Goodwin 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 without prejudice to refiling
for plaintiff’s failure to prosecute his case and to comply with this Court’s orders and
applicable rules. Specifically, the Magistrate Judge found that plaintiff failed to cure
multiple deficiencies in his Complaint and to provide specific responses to questions in his
in forma pauperis application and has not provided a prison-account statement that is
certified by an appropriate prison official. Plaintiff was advised of his right to file an
objection to the Report and Recommendation on or before June 16, 2017. On June 15,
2017, plaintiff filed his in forma paupris application with a prison-account statement that
was certified by a prison official, but failed to file an objection or an amended complaint.
Accordingly, upon de novo review, the Court:
(1)

ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation [docket no. 13] issued by the
Magistrate Judge on May 26, 2017; and

(2)

DISMISSES this matter without prejudice for plaintiff’s failure to cure
deficiencies in his Complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 11th day of July, 2017.
