FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
Richmond Division

TIMOTHY A. JONES,

Plaintiff,
v.

Civil Action No. 3:11CV509

SUPERINTENDENT TOWNLEY, et aL,
Defendants.
MEMORANDUM OPINION

Plaintiff, a former Virginia inmate proceeding pro se, filed this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.
Plaintiffs complaint failed to provide each defendant with fair notice of the facts and legal basis
upon which his or her liability rests. See Bell Atl Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007)

{quoting Conleyv. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 47 (1957)). Accordingly, by Memorandum Order

entered on March 27, 2012, the Court directed Plaintiff to submit a particularized complaint
within fourteen (14) days of the date of entry thereof. The Court warned Plaintiff that the failure
to submit the particularized complaint would result in the dismissal of the action.

More than fourteen (14) days have elapsed since the entry of the March 27, 2012

Memorandum Order. Plaintiff failed to submit a particularized complaint or otherwise respond
to the March 27, 2012 Memorandum Order. Accordingly, the action WILL BE DISMISSED

WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Plaintiffs request to proceed informapauperis (Docket Nos. 3, 6,
10) will be DENIED AS MOOT.

An appropriate order will accompanythis Memorandum Opinion.
