ORDER

Defendants.
The plaintiff, William Poff, filed his complaint in this case on
November 19, 2013. (Docket #1). Shortly after he filed his complaint, the
Clerk of Court’s office requested that he file a copy of his prisoner trust fund
account statement not later than December 11, 2013. (Docket #4). That
deadline has long since passed, and still Mr. Poff has not filed a copy of his
account statement. The Court will grant him seven more days to file that
document. If he does not timely do so, the Court will dismiss this case
without prejudice for want of prosecution. See, e.g., Link v. Wabash R. Co., 370
U.S. 626, 630 (1962) (“The authority of a federal trial court to dismiss a
plaintiff’s action with prejudice because of his failure to prosecute cannot
seriously be doubted.”); Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that the plaintiff shall file a copy of his prisoner trust
fund account statement within seven (7) days of the entry of this order;
failure to timely file that document will result in the dismissal of this action
without prejudice for want of prosecution, pursuant to Link, 370 U.S. at 630
and Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 3rd day of January, 2014.
BY THE COURT:

J.P. Stadtmueller
U.S. District Judge
