Civil Action No. 3:13CV501-HEH

MEMORANDUM OPINION

(Dismissing Action Without Prejudice)

Plaintiff, a Virginia inmate proceeding pro se and informa pauperis, filed this 42
U.S.C. § 1983 action. By Memorandum Order entered on August 29, 2014, the Court
informed Plaintiff that his Complaint failed to provide each defendant with fair notice of the
facts and legal basis upon which his or her liability rests. Accordingly, the Court directed
Plaintiff, within fourteen (14) days of the date of entry thereof, to file a particularized

complaint. 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 August 29, 2014
Memorandum Order. Plaintiff failed to submit a particularized complaint or otherwise
respond to the August 29, 2014 Memorandum Order. Accordingly, the action will be
dismissed without prejudice.
An appropriate order will accompany this Memorandum Opinion.
