or the original, of any documentary or other non-testimonial

DISPOSITION

 Plaintiff filed her Complaint against the State of Arkansas on February 19, 2016. 

She was subsequently granted the benefit of several local attorneys to assist her in 

amending her complaint. On May 19, 2016, the Court granted appointed-counsel’s 

Motion to Withdraw and informed Plaintiff that she had thirty days in which to file an 

amended complaint that outlines cognizable federal causes of action or to have an 

attorney of her choice enter an appearance to represent her and file the same. Plaintiff 

has since filed two amended complaints and several motions, none of which comply with 

the Court’s directive. 

Case 4:16-cv-00089-SWW Document 42 Filed 07/06/16 Page 2 of 3
It is therefore recommended at this time that Plaintiff’s complaint be summarily 

dismissed for failure to comply with a court order pursuant to Local Rule 5.5 and for 

failure to state claims upon which relief can be granted. 

IT IS SO ORDERED THIS 6th day of July, 2016.
