ELIZABETH M. TIMOTHY CHIEF UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff commenced this case by filing a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (ECF No. 1). On February 10, 2020, the court ordered Plaintiff to pay the filing fee or file a motion to proceed in forma pauperis ("IFP") within thirty (30) days (ECF No. 4). Plaintiff failed to pay the filing fee or file an IFP motion by the deadline; therefore, on March 18, 2020, the court issued an order requiring Plaintiff to show cause, within thirty (30) days, why this action should not be dismissed for his failure to comply with the court's order (ECF No. 5). The time for compliance with the show cause order has now elapsed, and Plaintiff has not paid the filing fee, filed an IFP motion, or explained his failure to comply.
Accordingly, it is respectfully RECOMMENDED:
1. That this case be DISMISSED without prejudice for Plaintiff's failure to comply with an order of the court That the clerk be directed to close the file.
2. That the clerk of court be directed to close this case.
At Pensacola, Florida, this 1st day of May 2020.
