Jones v. Wright
Jones v. Wright
Trial Court Opinion
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS CENTRAL DIVISION DAVID JONES PLAINTIFF v. No: 4:21-cv-00543-JM
RODNEY WRIGHT, et al. DEFENDANTS ORDER Plaintiff David Jones filed a pro se complaint, pursuant to
42 U.S.C. § 1983, on June 21, 2021 (Doc. No. 1). On June 23, 2021, the Court entered an order directing Jones to submit the full $402.00 filing and administrative fees or file a fully completed in forma pauperis application within 30 days. See Doc. No. 2. Jones was cautioned that failure to comply with the Court’s order within that time would result in the dismissal of his case. More than 30 days have passed, and Jones has not complied or otherwise responded to the June 23 order. Accordingly, the Court finds that this action should be dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with Local Rule 5.5(c)(2) and failure to respond to the Court’s orders. See Miller v. Benson,
51 F.3d 166, 168(8th Cir. 1995) (District courts have inherent power to dismiss sua sponte a case for failure to prosecute, and exercise of that power is reviewed for abuse of discretion). IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT Jones’s complaint (Doc. No. 1) is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. DATED this 27th day of July, 2021. Sf ED Lf). DISTRICT JUDGE
