IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

CENTRAL DIVISION

JESSE R. JONES PLAINTIFF

V. CASE NO. 4:19-CV-227-BSM-BD

LUCAS EMBERTON DEFENDANT 

RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION

I. Procedure for Filing Objections

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

objections to this Recommendation if they disagree with its findings or conclusions. 

Objections should be specific and should include the factual or legal basis for the 

objection. 

To be considered, objections must be received in the office of the Court Clerk 

within 14 days of this Recommendation. If no objections are filed, Judge Miller can adopt 

this Recommendation without independently reviewing the record. And, if no objections 

are filed, the parties may waive the right to appeal questions of fact. 

II. Discussion

Mr. Jones was an inmate at the Van Buren County Jail when he filed this civil 

rights lawsuit on April 4, 2019, without the help of a lawyer. (Docket entry #2) Mail sent 

to Mr. Jones from the Court was recently returned as “undeliverable,” with a notation that 

he was “parole[d].” (#29) On December 18, the Court ordered Mr. Jones to notify the 

Court of his new address within 30 days or risk dismissal of his complaint. (#30) That 

order was returned to the Court, marked “undeliverable,” on January 9. (#31) Local rules

require pro se plaintiffs, including Mr. Jones, to promptly notify the Court of any change 

in address so that the Court and other parties can communicate with them. Local Rule 

5.5(c)(2).

III. Conclusion

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

prejudice, based on his failure to comply with the December 18 Order and his failure to 

prosecute this lawsuit. 

DATED this 21st day of January, 2020.
