 DISPOSITION 

Timothy Ray Burton, Jr. (“Plaintiff”) has filed a pro se Complaint, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

§ 1983, alleging Defendants violated his constitutional rights at the Saline County Detention 

Center. (Doc. No. 2.) On December 9, 2019, I entered an Order giving Plaintiff thirty (30) days 

to either pay the $400 filing fee in full or file an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. (Doc. 

No. 3). I provided Plaintiff with the necessary forms and cautioned him I would recommend 

dismissal if he did not timely comply with my instructions. (Id.) 

The Clerk mailed my Order and other pleadings to Plaintiff at three different addresses he 

provided. (Doc. Nos. 3 to 7.) Copies mailed to the Garland County Detention Center, which 

was Plaintiff’s first address, have been returned undelivered. (Doc. Nos. 6, 8, 9.) But, copies 

mailed to the Ester Unit, which is the most recently provided address, have not been returned. 

And, according to the ADC website, Plaintiff is currently in that facility. See

https://apps.ark.org/inmate_info. 

Plaintiff’s time to comply with my December 9, 2019 Order has expired. Thus, this case 

should be dismissed without prejudice due to a lack of prosecution. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); 

Local Rule 5.5(c)(2).
