MEMORANDUM
This is a pro se prisoner's civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The
plaintiff was ordered to show cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure to
prosecute. The plaintiff has failed to respond to the Court's Order within the time required.
Accordingly, this action will be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for plaintiff's
failure to prosecute and to comply with the Orders of this Court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b);
Jourdan v. Jabe, 951 F.2d 108 (6th Cir. 1991). The Court will CERTIFY that any appeal
from this action would not be taken in good faith and would be totally frivolous. See Fed.
R. App. P. 24.

AN APPROPRIATE ORDER WILL ENTER.

CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
