May 28, 2026 Opinion or Order Filing 11 TEXT ORDER entered by District Judge Sue E Myerscough on 5/28/2026. Plaintiff was ordered to file an updated petition to proceed without prepayment of fees by May 22, 2026, upon his release to the community, and was warned that noncompliance would result in dismissal of this action without prejudice. Plaintiff has not filed an updated petition, and the deadline has passed. Separately, Plaintiff's original complaint was struck on April 14 because it included only a case caption and a few sparse sentences. The Court allowed Plaintiff 21 days to replead, and on May 1 on its own motion the Court allowed Plaintiff another 21 days to replead and warned him that noncompliance would result in dismissal of this action without prejudice. No amended complaint has been filed. Because Plaintiff has not filed an updated petition to proceed without prepayment of fees as ordered, and because Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint, this case is DISMISSED without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). Judgment to enter for Defendants. (VH)

Finally, the Complaint in this matter was struck from the record on April 14, 2026, because it included only a case caption and a few sparse sentences.
