ORDER

Aileen Reed (“Plaintiff”), proceeding pro se, filed this employment discrimination
complaint against Robert McDonald, Secretary, Department of Veterans Affairs. On June
30, 2016, the court ordered Plaintiff to provide the service documents necessary to
advance her case, and to write a short and plain statement of her claim. [ECF No. 8].
Plaintiff was warned that the failure to provide the necessary information within a
specific time period would subject the case to dismissal. Id. Plaintiff did not file a
response. The court filed a second order on July 27, 2016, and ordered Plaintiff to provide
the service documents necessary to advance her case, and to write a short and plain
statement of her claim. [ECF No. 12]. Plaintiff was again warned that the failure to
provide the necessary information within a specific time period would subject the case to
dismissal. Id. The time for response expired on August 22, 2016, and Plaintiff did not file
a response. As Plaintiff has failed to prosecute this case and has failed to comply with an
order of this Court, the case is dismissed without prejudice pursuant to Rule 41 of the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626 (1962).
