IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

JELANI AKEEM BOYD PLAINTIFF 

V. CASE NO. 4:18-cv-732-KGB-BD

JAWASKI CONNORS, et al. DEFENDANTS

RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION

I. Procedures for Filing Objections

This Recommended Disposition (Recommendation) has been sent to Judge 

Kristine G. Baker. Any party to this suit may file written objections with the Clerk of 

Court. To be considered, however, 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 Baker can adopt this Recommendation without 

independently reviewing the record. 

II. Discussion

Plaintiff Jaleni Akeem Boyd filed this lawsuit without the help of a lawyer and is 

proceeding in forma pauperis. (Docket entries #2, #5) 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 May 6, 2019, Mr. Boyd was given 30 days to notify the Court of his 

new address, after mail sent to him from the Court was returned as undeliverable. (#22, 

#26) The Court specifically cautioned Mr. Boyd that his claims could be dismissed if he

failed to update his address, as ordered. (#26) To date, Mr. Boyd has not responded to the 

May 6 Order, and the time allowed has expired. 

III. Conclusion

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

prejudice, based on his failure to comply with the Court’s May 6, 2019 Order and his 

failure to prosecute the claims raised in this lawsuit. Furthermore, the pending motion for 

summary judgment (#23) should be DENIED, as moot.

DATED this 10th day of June, 2019.
