MEMORANDUM

This is a prisoner’s pro se civil rights case under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 1, 2013, the
Court entered a Deficiency Order, directing plaintiff, within thirty (30) days, to pay the entire filing
fee of $350.00 or submit either a copy of his trust account statement or a statement reflecting that
no such account exists, [Doc. 4]. Plaintiff was also forewarned that his failure to respond to the
Deficiency Order within the time allotted would lead the Court to assume that he is not a pauper,
assess the entire filing fee, and dismiss this action for want of prosecution and for failure to comply
with the orders of the Court. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
The Deficiency Order was mailed to plaintiff at the address he listed as his current address
and it was not returned to the Court by the United States Postal Service. There is no indication that
plaintiff did not receive the Order. More than two months have passed since the Deficiency Order
was mailed to plaintiff, and he has not responded to that Order.

Accordingly, the Court will DISMISS plaintiff’s lawsuit for failure to comply with the
orders of the Court.

ENTER:
