(See ECF Nos. 50 & 52.) The Roseboro notice gave Watkins 21 days to file a response to the motion to dismiss and advised him that, if he did not respond to the defendants’ motion, the court would “assume that [he] has lost interest in the case, and/or that [he] agrees with what the Defendant[s] state[] in their responsive pleading(s).” (See ECF No. 52.) The notice further advised Watkins that, if he wished to continue with the case, it was “necessary that [he] respond in an appropriate fashion,” and that if he failed to file a response to the motion within the time allotted, the court “may dismiss the case for failure to prosecute.” (Id.) To date, Watkins has not responded to the motion or the court’s notice and, therefore, the court will dismiss this action without prejudice for failure to prosecute.
