DEFENDANTS MEMORANDUM OPINION By Order entered May 26, 2015, the Court ordered Plaintiff to complete a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint form and either pay the filing fee or submit a prisoner application to proceed without prepayment of fees within 30 days. The Court warned Plaintiff that failure to comply with the Order within the 30-day period would result in dismissal of the action. More than 30 days have passed, and Plaintiff has failed to comply with the Court’s Order.

Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630 (1962). Therefore, by separate Order, the Court will dismiss the instant action. See FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b) (governing involuntary dismissal).
