IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH JOSEPH WAYNE WALKER, Plaintiff, v. DISMISSAL ORDER & MEMORANDUM DECISION Case No. 2:10-CV-1155 CW District Judge Clark Waddoups ALFRED C. BIGELOW et al., Defendants. Plaintiff, inmate Joseph Wayne Walker, filed this pro se civil rights suit, see 42 U.S.C.S. § 1983 (2012), proceeding in forma pauperis, see 28 id. 1915. Reviewing the Amended Complaint (ordered by the Court because the original complaint was deficient), under § 1915(e), in an Order dated February 28, 2012, the Court determined for a second time that Plaintiff's Amended Complaint was deficient for a variety of reasons. The Court then again gave Plaintiff direction for curing the deficiencies, sent him a "Pro Se Litigant Guide," with a blank-form civil rights complaint, and ordered him to cure the deficiencies within thirty days. Plaintiff has since twice asked for extensions of time in which to file a Second Amended Complaint. Most recently, on June 7, 2012, the Court granted Plaintiff an extension until August 15, 2012. That date has come and gone without the filing of a Second Amended Complaint, another request for extension, or an explanation for Plaintiff's failure to file anything further. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff's complaint is DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to state a claim under § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii), failure to follow Court orders, and failure to prosecute. DATED this 22nd day of August, 2012. BY THE COURT: ______________________________ JUDGE CLARK WADDOUPS United States District Court 2
