KAYMANI D. WEST, Magistrate Judge.
Plaintiff, proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, brought this action alleging violations of his constitutional rights pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On October 2, 2014, Defendant Althea B. Myers filed a Motion to Dismiss. ECF No. 33. Because Plaintiff is proceeding pro se, the court entered an order pursuant to Roseboro v. Garrison, 528 F.2d 309 (4th Cir. 1975), advising him of the importance of such motions and of the need for him to file adequate responses. ECF No. 34. Plaintiff was specifically advised that if he failed to respond adequately, Defendant Myers's Motion may be granted, thereby ending this case against her. Thereafter, the court granted Plaintiff an extension of time to file a response, extending the deadline to November 17, 2014. ECF No. 38.
Notwithstanding the specific warning and instructions set forth in the court's Roseboro order and though Plaintiff was granted additional time to respond, Plaintiff has failed to respond to the Motion.

Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff is directed to advise the court whether he wishes to continue with this case and to file a response to Defendant Myers's Motion to Dismiss by

Despite this instruction, Plaintiff has failed to submit new service forms to the court. As such, it appears to the court that he does wish to serve either of these named Defendants and wishes to abandon his causes of action against Defendants McQueen and Polson. Based on the foregoing, Plaintiff is directed to advise the court whether he wishes to continue with his case and against Defendants McQueen and Polson and file new service forms with the Clerk of Court by
IT IS SO ORDERED.
