v. 	Case No.: 3:25cv1030/MCR/ZCB
PETER NOWAK,
Defendant.
/
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, commenced this action by filing an
employment discrimination case under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964. 	(Doc. 1). 	On September 23, 2025, the Court entered an order
directing Plaintiff to file an amended complaint within fourteen days.
(Doc. 8). 	The Court notified Plaintiff that his failure to comply with an
order of the Court would result in a recommendation of dismissal of this
case. (Id. at 8).
Plaintiff 	did 	not 	file 	an 	amended 	complaint 	by 	the 	deadline.
Therefore, on October 9, 2025, the Court issued an order giving Plaintiff
fourteen days to show cause why this case should not be dismissed for his
failure to comply with a Court order. 	(Doc. 11). 	The Court notified
Plaintiff that his failure to show cause would result in a recommendation

of dismissal of this case. (Id.). The deadline for compliance with the show
cause order has passed, and Plaintiff has not responded.
Accordingly, it is respectfully RECOMMENDED that this case be
DISMISSED without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with
an order of the Court. 	See N.D. Fla. Loc. R. 41.1 (authorizing dismissal
if a “party fails to comply with an applicable rule or a court order”); see
also Duong Thanh Ho v. Costello, 757 F. App’x 912, 914-15 (11th Cir.
2018) (affirming dismissal where pro se plaintiff failed to file an amended
complaint as directed).
At Pensacola, Florida, this 27th day of October 2025.
