IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

EASTERN DIVISION 

KEVIN BLAKE, 

Reg. #41114-007 PLAINTIFF 

V. CASE NO. 2:18-CV-97-KGB-BD

USA DEFENDANT 

RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION 

I. Procedure for Filing Objections

This Recommended Disposition (Recommendation) has been sent to Judge 

Kristine G. Baker. Any party may file written objections to this Recommendation. 

Objections should be specific and should include the factual or legal basis for the 

objection. 

To be considered, objections must be received in the office of the Court Clerk 

within 14 days of this Recommendation. If no objections are filed, Judge Baker can adopt 

this Recommendation without independently reviewing the record. And by not objecting, 

the parties may waive the right to appeal questions of fact. 

II. Discussion 

Kevin Blake was an inmate at the Federal Correctional Institution in Forrest City, 

Arkansas (FCI-FC), when he filed this civil rights lawsuit in July 2018. (Docket entry #1) 

Mr. Blake is no longer incarcerated at FCI-FC, as evidenced by mail returned to the 

Court as “undeliverable,” with a notation that he is “not at this institution.” (#24, #26,

#27) Mr. Blake has not notified the Court of his current address, as required by the 

Court’s local rules. See Local Rule 5.5. 

 In a June 10, 2019 Order, Mr. Blake was directed to notify the Court of his current 

address within 30 days. (#25) The Court specifically cautioned Mr. Blake that his claims 

could be dismissed if he failed to update his address with the Court. To date, Mr. Blake 

has failed to comply with the Court’s Order, and the time for doing so has passed. 

III. Conclusion

The Court recommends that Mr. Blake’s claims be DISMISSED, without 

prejudice, based on his failure to comply with the Court’s June 10, 2019 Order and his 

failure to prosecute this lawsuit. The Defendant’s motion for summary judgment (#18) 

should be DENIED, as moot. 

DATED this 11th day of July, 2019.
