ORDER
Pro se Plaintiff David Aaron Beck, a prisoner at Central State Prison in Macon, Georgia, filed a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights complaint. ECF No. 1. Plaintiff also filed a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. ECF No. 2. On April 17, 2025, Plaintiff was ordered to submit a certified copy of his inmate trust account statement for the preceding six months in support of his motion to proceed in forma pauperis as mandated by 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(2). ECF No. 4. Plaintiff was given fourteen (14) days to respond and was informed that failure to comply with an order of the Court could result in dismissal of this action. Id. Plaintiff failed to respond. Therefore, on May 16, 2025, Plaintiff was ordered to show cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure to comply with an order of the Court. ECF No. 5. The Court specifically informed Plaintiff that this action would be dismissed if he failed to respond or otherwise submit his certified account statement as previously ordered. Id. Plaintiff was given fourteen (14) days to respond. Id. Plaintiff has again failed to respond. Because Plaintiff has failed to comply with the Court’s orders or otherwise prosecute his case, this complaint is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. See Fed.
