ECF No. 8. Plaintiff was given fourteen days to respond to the Order to Show Cause and he failed to do so. Due to Plaintiff’s failure to follow the Court’s Orders and prosecute this action, the case is hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); Brown v. Tallahassee Police Dep’t, 205 F.
