IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FAYETTEVILLE DIVISION

STEVEN JOHN HAYS PLAINTIFF

V. Case No. 05-5198

SHERIFF KEITH FERGUSON;

CAPT. PETRAY; DR. NEIL MULLINS, LT. PAUL

CARTER, CPL. TOMLIN and NURSE SUE McDONALD DEFENDANTS

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE MAGISTRATE JUDGE

Plaintiff filed this pro se civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on December 7,

2005. (Doc. 1). His complaint was filed in forma pauperis (IFP). At the time he filed the

complaint, plaintiff was an inmate at the Benton County Jail. 

On October 26, 2006, the defendants filed a motion to compel, stating the plaintiff had failed

to respond to discovery requests. (Doc. 25, 26). On November 1, 2006, this court entered an order

granting the defendants’ motion to compel and ordering plaintiff to respond to said discovery

requests on or before November 13, 2006. On December 8, 2006, the defendants filed a motion to

dismiss indicating that plaintiff had failed to respond as ordered by this court. (Doc. 29, 30). We

note that there is no indication in the record to suggest that plaintiff failed to receive the court’s

order.

I therefore recommend plaintiff’s complaint be dismissed on the grounds he has failed to

obey an order of this court. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Plaintiff has ten days from receipt of the

report and recommendation in which to file written objections pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

636(b)(1). The failure to file timely objections may result in waiver of the right to appeal

questions of fact. Plaintiff is reminded that objections must be both timely and specific to

trigger de novo review by the district court.
