CARL D. MCMILLON 	DEFENDANTS

DAVID E. BOYD
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE
On February 20, 2025, Plaintiff filed a Complaint pursuant 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (ECF No.
1). Plaintiff filed a motion to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) on the same date. (ECF No. 2).
However, more information was needed, and Plaintiff was ordered to complete a long form IFP
application by March 14, 2025. (ECF No. 3). A Show Cause Order for failure to obey the order to
complete a long form IFP application was issued on March 21, 2025, and Plaintiff was directed to
respond by April 11, 2025. (ECF No. 4). To date, Plaintiff has not filed a long form motion to
proceed IFP and has not responded to the Court’s Show Cause Order.
Therefore, it is RECOMMENDED that Plaintiff’s case be DISMISSED without
prejudice on the grounds that she has failed to respond to a Court order. See Fed. R. Civ. Pro.
41(b). The parties have fourteen (14) days from receipt of the Report and Recommendation
in which to file written objections pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). The failure to file timely
objections may result in waiver of the right to appeal questions of fact. 	The parties are
reminded that objections must be both timely and specific to trigger de novo review by the
district court.
RECOMMENDED this 16th day of April 2025.
.
