Rogers v. Metropolitan Transit Authority Metrolift

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Rogers v. Metropolitan Transit Authority Metrolift, 111 F. App'x 782 (5th Cir. 2004)

Rogers v. Metropolitan Transit Authority Metrolift

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Floyd Thomas Rogers and Dykeba Lecole Rogers seek leave to proceed in for-ma pauperis (IFP) in the appeal of the dismissal of their suit for want of prosecution. IT IS ORDERED that their motion for leave to proceed IFP is GRANTED.

The parties have fully briefed this case. The plaintiffs fail, however, to demonstrate that the district court abused its discretion when it dismissed their case for want of prosecution. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b); Al-Ra‘id v. Ingle, 69 F.3d 28, 33 (5th Cir. 1995); Gonzalez v. Firestone Tire & Rubber Co., 610 F.2d 241, 247 (5th Cir. 1980). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
