IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

NORTHERN DIVISION

DANA M. PRESLEY PLAINTIFF

ADC # 716825

V. CASE NO. 3:19-CV-105-JM-BD

CRAIGHEAD COUNTY JAIL, et al. DEFENDANTS 

RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION

I. Procedure for Filing Objections

This Recommendation has been sent to Judge James M. Moody Jr. 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 Moody 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

Ms. Presley was an inmate at the Craighead County Jail when she filed this civil 

rights lawsuit on April 11, 2019, without the help of a lawyer. (Docket entry #1) Mail 

sent to Ms. Presley from the Court was recently returned as “undeliverable.” (#21) On 

January 7, the Court ordered Ms. Presley to notify the Court of her new address within 30 

days or risk dismissal of her complaint. (#22)

On January 9, 2020, the Court entered an order directing the Clerk of Court to 

update Ms. Presley’s address, noting that Ms. Presley had sent a change-of-address notice 

on November 21, 2019. (#23) On January 17, 2020, the Order directing Ms. Presley to 

update her address with the Court was returned to the Court “undeliverable” and was resent to her updated address. (#25) Since then, mail sent to Ms. Presley has also been 

returned to the Court, marked “undeliverable,” with a notation that Ms. Presley has now

been “parol[ed].” (#27, #28, #29) Local rules require pro se plaintiffs, including Ms. 

Presley, 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 Ms. Presley’s claims be DISMISSED, without 

prejudice, based on her failure to comply with the January Order (#22) and her failure to 

prosecute this lawsuit. 

DATED this 19th day of February, 2020.
