IRMA RAMIREZ, Magistrate Judge
Pursuant to the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636(b), and an Order of the Court in implementation thereof, subject cause has previously been referred to the United States Magistrate Judge. The findings, conclusions, and recommendation of the Magistrate Judge are as follows:
I. BACKGROUND
In August 2005, plaintiff, a state inmate currently incarcerated in the Dallas County Jail, filed a civil complaint against Bill Hill, Rissie Owens, and Lupe Valdez. No process has been issued in this case. On August 25, 2005, the Court issued a Notice of Deficiency and Order wherein it notified plaintiff that he had not submitted the required inmate account certificate. It granted him twenty days to cure the deficiency and warned him that the failure to do so would result in a recommendation that this action be dismissed for failure to prosecute. To date, plaintiff has filed nothing further in this case. Nor has he paid the requisite filing fee.
II. INVOLUNTARY DISMISSAL
Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure permits a court to dismiss sua sponte an action for failure to prosecute or follow orders of the court. McCullough v. Lynaugh, 835 F.2d 1126, 1127 (5th Cir. 1988). This authority flows from a court's inherent power to control its docket, prevent undue delays in the disposition of pending cases, and avoid congested court calendars. Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 629-31 (1962). Plaintiff has failed to comply with the Order of August 25, 2005, that he submit the required certificate of inmate trust account within twenty days. He has also not paid the filing fee in this action. Such failures indicate that he has no current intention to proceed with this case. Accordingly, the Court should dismiss his complaint.
III. RECOMMENDATION
For the foregoing reasons, it is recommended that plaintiff's complaint be dismissed without prejudice for want of prosecution pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b).
