FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA
Richmond Division

TIMOTHY A. JONES,

Plaintiff,
v.

Civil Action No. 3:11CV595

YOLANDA SMITH MOORE, 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 Ail. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007)
(quoting Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 47 (1957)). Accordingly, by Memorandum Order

entered on March 23, 2012, the Court directed Plaintiff to submit a particularized complaint
within eleven (11) 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 eleven (11) days have elapsed since the entry of the March 23, 2012
Memorandum Order. Plaintiff failed to submit a particularized complaint or otherwise respond

to the March 23, 2012 Memorandum Order. Accordingly, the action will be dismissed without
prejudice.

An appropriate order will accompany this Memorandum Opinion.
