C/A NO. 4:12-1593-CMC-TER
OPINION and ORDER
Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed this action in this court on June 14, 2012. By Order filed
July 5, 2012, Plaintiff was give an opportunity to provide the necessary information and paperwork
to bring the case into proper form for evaluation and possible service of process. Plaintiff was
warned that failure to provide the necessary information within the timetable set forth in the Order
would subject the case to dismissal. On July 19, 2012, Plaintiff filed a letter stating that he did not
realize submitting a petition to the court “would result in [a] case being filed so early.” ECF No. 16.
However, Plaintiff did not provide any of the information required by the Order, and the time to
bring this case into proper form now has lapsed.
Plaintiff has failed to provide the necessary information and therefore has failed to comply
with an order of this court. This 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).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
