IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

CENTRAL DIVISION

DADRAIN BANKS PLAINTIFF 

V. CASE NO. 4:19-CV-291-BD

PULASKI COUNTY SHERIFF DEPT., et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Plaintiff Dadrain Banks, an inmate currently held at the Arkansas State Hospital,

filed this lawsuit without the help of a lawyer under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (Docket entry #1)

Defendants have moved to dismiss the complaint based on Mr. Banks’s failure to timely 

comply with an order compelling him to respond to discovery requests. (#65) Mr. Banks 

has not responded to the motion. 

On December 17, 2019, the Court ordered Mr. Banks to sign a medical 

information release authorization and to respond to the Defendants’ interrogatories and 

requests for production by December 31, 2019. (#64) To date, he has not complied with 

the Court’s December 17 Order, and the time allowed for responding has passed. The 

Court specifically cautioned Mr. Banks that his claims could be dismissed if he failed to 

comply with the Court’s Order. (#64)

Defendants’ motion to dismiss (#65) is GRANTED. Mr. Banks’s claims are 

DISMISSED, without prejudice, based on his failure to comply with the Court’s 

December 17, 2019 Order and his failure to prosecute this lawsuit.
