v. No: 4:23-cv-00553-KGB-PSH

DOES DEFENDANTS

PROPOSED FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATION INSTRUCTIONS The following Recommendation has been sent to United States District Judge Kristine G. Baker. You may file written objections to all or part of this Recommendation. If you do so, those objections must: (1) specifically explain the factual and/or legal basis for your objection; and (2) be received by the Clerk of this Court within fourteen (14) days of this Recommendation. By not objecting, you may waive the right to appeal questions of fact. DISPOSITION

Plaintiff Kendrick McEwen filed a pro se complaint on June 12, 2023 (Doc. No. 1). On June 13, 2023, the Court entered an order directing McEwen to submit the full $402.00 filing and administrative fee or file a fully completed IFP application within 30 days (Doc. No. 2). McEwen was cautioned that failure to comply with the Court’s order within that time would result in the recommended dismissal of his

case. More than 30 days have passed, and McEwen has not complied or otherwise responded to the June 13 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,

(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 recommended that McEwen’s complaint (Doc. No. 1) be dismissed without prejudice. DATED this 10th day of August, 2023. omni.
