SAM KINNEY, III PLAINTIFF 

#142798

 

V. CASE NO. 5:19-cv-334-BSM-BD

DREW COUNTY JAIL, et al. DEFENDANTS

RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION

I. Procedures for Filing Objections

This Recommendation has been sent to Judge Brian S. Miller. Any party to this 

suit may file objections with the Clerk of Court if they disagree with the findings or 

conclusions set out in the Recommendation. To be considered, objections must be filed 

within 14 days. Objections should be specific and should include the factual or legal basis 

for the objection. 

If parties do not file objections, they risk waiving the right to appeal questions of 

fact. And, if no objections are filed, Judge Miller can adopt this Recommendation without 

independently reviewing the record. 

II. Discussion

Plaintiff Sam Kinney, III filed this lawsuit without the help of a lawyer and is 

proceeding in forma pauperis. (Docket entry #1) The Court requires Plaintiffs who are 

not represented by counsel to keep the Court informed as to their current addresses. Local 

Rule 5.5.

On January 23, 2020, Mr. Kinney was given 30 days to notify the Court of his 

new address, after his mail sent from the Court was returned marked “undeliverable.”

(#13) The Court specifically cautioned Mr. Kinney that his claims could be dismissed if 

he failed to update his address as ordered. (#13) To date, Mr. Kinney has failed to comply 

with the Court’s Order and the time for doing so has passed. 

III. Conclusion

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

prejudice, based on his failure to comply with the Court’s January 23, 2020 Order and his 

failure to prosecute this lawsuit.

DATED this 26th day of February, 2020.
