Plaintiff,

RICHMOND, VA

V-

Civil Action No. 3:16CV904

EMBASSY OF HAITI, et al.,
Defendants.

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Plaintiff, a federal detainee proceeding pro se and informa pauperis, filed this civil rights
action. Courts must liberally construe pro se civil rights complaints in order to address

constitutional deprivations. Gordon v. Leeke, 574 F.2d 1147, 1151 (4th Cir. 1978).
Nevertheless, "[pjrinciples requiring generous construction ofpro se complaints are
not... without limits." Beaudett v. City ofHampton, 775 F.2d 1274,1278 (4th Cir. 1985).

Plaintiffs current allegations fail to provide each defendant with fair notice of the facts and legal
basis upon which his or her liability rests. See Bell All. 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 June 1,2017, the Court directed Plaintiff to submit a particularized complaint
within fourteen (14) days of the date of entry thereof The Court warned Plaintiffthat 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 June 1, 2017

Memorandum Order. Plaintiff failed to submit aparticularized complaint or otherwise respond
to the June 1, 2017 Memorandum Order. Accordingly, the action will be DISMISSED
WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

An appropriate order will accompany this Memorandum Opinion.
