BRYANT v. SWAIN

Trial Court Opinion

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA GAINESVILLE DIVISION JUSTIN WALLACE BRYANT, Plaintiff, v. Case No. 1:24cv96-AW-HTC

SWAIN, et al., Defendants. ___________________________/ REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION On June 17, 2024, the Court ordered Plaintiff Justin Wallace Bryant to, within twenty-one days, file an amended complaint on the Northern District of Florida’s

complaint form and either pay the $405 filing fee or correct the deficiency in his motion to proceed in forma pauperis. Doc. 7. The Court subsequently extended the deadline for Bryant to comply with the June 17 Order to July 29, 2024. Doc. 9.

After Bryant failed to meet the extended deadline, the Court ordered him, on August 7, 2024, to show cause within fourteen days why this case should not be dismissed due to his failure to comply with the June 17 Order. Doc. 10. To date, Bryant has not responded to the August 7 Order or complied with the June 17 Order.

Based on the foregoing, dismissal of this case is appropriate. See Brown v. Tallahassee Police Dep’t,

205 F. App’x 802, 802

(11th Cir. 2006) (“The court may dismiss an action sua sponte under [Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b)] for failure to prosecute or failure to obey a court order.”) (citations omitted); Moon v. Newsome,

863 F.2d 835, 837

(11th Cir. 1989) (“[D]ismissal upon disregard of an

order, especially where the litigant has been forewarned, generally is not an abuse of discretion.”) (citations omitted). Accordingly, it is RECOMMENDED:

1. That this case be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE due to Bryant’s failure to prosecute and failure to comply with Court orders. 2. That the clerk close the file. At Pensacola, Florida, this 30th day of August, 2024.
