The court warned Long that failure to file an amended complaint within fourteen days would result in dismissal of his complaint. Long filed no response to the court’s order. Inasmuch as Long has failed to comply with the court’s order within the time allotted, the court will dismiss his complaint without prejudice. An appropriate order will be entered.
