JUDGMENT granting the defendants' motion to dismiss, and this pro se prisoner's civil rights action, filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, is DISMISSED without prejudice for want of prosecution and failure to comply with the orders of the court. The Court CERTIFIES that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith.
