MEMORANDUM OPINION Petitioner, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se, submitted a letter. (ECF No. 1.)

See Rivenbark v. Virginia, 305 F. App’x 144, 145 (4th Cir. 2008).

The Court warned Petitioner that the failure to comply with the terms of the December 6, 2024 Memorandum Order would result in the dismissal of the action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). More than twenty (20) days have elapsed and Petitioner has not responded. Accordingly, the action will be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. An appropriate Final Order shall accompany this Memorandum Opinion
