Curry v. Cooper

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS CENTRAL DIVISION CORBIN LANE CURRY PLAINTIFF v. Case No: 4:24-cv-00057-JM-PSH COOPER, et al. DEFENDANTS ORDER Plaintiff Corbin Lane Curry filed a pro se complaint, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, on January 24, 2024 (Doc. No. 2). On January 25, 2024, the Court entered an order directing Curry to submit the full $405.00 filing and administrative fees or file a fully completed in forma pauperis application within 30 days. See Doc. No. 3. Curry 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 Curry has not complied or otherwise responded to the January 25 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 Curry’s complaint (Doc. No. 2) is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

DATED this 13" day of March, 2024. eG mcr
