MEMORANDUM OPINION
This pro se prisoner’s civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 was filed on June 27, 2016
[Doc. 2]. On September 19, 2017, the Court entered a Memorandum and Order, screening the
complaint to determine whether, inter alia, the pleading failed to state a claim which would entitle
Plaintiff to relief under § 1983 [Doc. 7]. The Court found that the complaint, as pled, failed to
state a claim, but that it might state a claim if Plaintiff amended certain allegations [Id.]. Thus, the
Court allowed Plaintiff 30 days from that date to amend those allegations [Id.].
More than 30 days have passed, and Plaintiff has failed to amend his complaint or otherwise
respond to the Court’s order. Therefore, this case will be DISMISSED for failure to state a claim
for relief, 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2), and for Plaintiff’s failure to prosecute and to comply with the
orders of this Court, Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
AN APPROPRIATE JUDGMENT ORDER WILL ENTER.
