UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION

THOMAS BURNS, SR., 2:21-CV-11717-TGB-KGA

Plaintiff,

ORDER DISMISSING CASE vs. FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE MARTEZ WILLIAMS ET AL.,

Defendants.

This case was filed in this district on July 26, 2021. Since that date, Plaintiff has taken no further action. On September 8, 2021, the Court entered an order explaining that Plaintiff’s Complaint did not appear to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. ECF No. 3. The Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause, in writing, why the Complaint should not be dismissed for failure state a claim in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2). Id. Plaintiff has not responded to that order. As part of its inherent authority to manage its docket, the Court has the power to dismiss a complaint sua sponte for failure to prosecute. Link v. Wabash R.R. Co.,

(1962).

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the above-captioned case shall be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for failure to

prosecute. DATED this 18th day of January, 2022.

BY THE COURT:
