TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Michael M. Mihm on 9/18/2026. On August 12, 2026, the Court entered a Merit Review Order #11 and dismissed Plaintiff's Complaint for failure to state a claim for relief under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) and 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1915A. The Court gave Plaintiff 30 days to file an Amended Complaint and warned Plaintiff that the failure to do so would result in the dismissal of this case with prejudice. The time period has now passed, and Plaintiff has not filed an Amended Complaint or requested an extension of time. Therefore, this case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6) and section 1915A for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The Clerk is directed to enter judgment and close this case. This dismissal may count as a strike pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1915(g). The Clerk is directed to log this dismissal in the Court's three-strike log. Plaintiff must still pay the remainder of the $350 filing fee even though his case has been dismissed. (d/e 8). If Plaintiff wishes to appeal this dismissal, he must file a notice of appeal with this Court within 30 days of the entry of judgment. Fed. R. App. P. 4(a). A motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis must set forth the issues Plaintiff plans to present on appeal. Fed. R. App. P. 24(a)(1)(C). If Plaintiff chooses to appeal, he will be liable for the $605 appellate filing fee irrespective of the outcome of the appeal.(VH)
