Trial Court Opinion

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS CENTRAL DIVISION

MICHAEL OTIS ROBERTSON PLAINTIFF

v. Case No: 4:20-cv-01412 BRW

WILLIAMS, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

On February 9, 2021, United States Magistrate Judge Patricia Harris entered an order informing Mr. Robertson that he must file an application to proceed in forma pauperis (“IFP”) that reflects his free-world financial status or pay the full filing and administrative fees within 30 days.1 Mr. Robertson was warned that his complaint may be dismissed if he did not do so. It has been over 30 days since Mr. Robertson was directed to file a free-world IFP application or pay the full filing and administrative fees, and he has not done so. Accordingly, this case is DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to comply with Local Rule 5.5(c)(2), failure to respond to court orders, and for failure to prosecute.2 IT IS SO ORDERED this 23rd day of March, 2021.
