Civil Action No. 7:16-cv-00549
MEMORANDUM OPINION
By:
Norman K. Moon
United States District Judge

Howard Martin, proceeding pro se, filed a civil rights complaint, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §
1983. By Order entered December 16, 2016, the court directed plaintiff to submit within 20 days
from the date of the Order an amended complaint. Plaintiff was advised that a failure to comply
would result in dismissal of this action without prejudice.
More than 20 days have elapsed, and plaintiff has failed to comply with the described
conditions. Accordingly, the court dismisses the action without prejudice and strikes the case
from the active docket of the court. Plaintiff may refile the claims in a separate action once
plaintiff is prepared to comply with the noted conditions.
The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Memorandum Opinion and accompanying
Order to plaintiff.
