IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

JONESBORO DIVISION

AQUAILIA RENEE RAMSEY PLAINTIFF

V. 3:05CV00277 GTE

RUSSELL et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Plaintiff initiated this § 1983 action by filing a Complaint (docket entry # 1), unaccompanied

by an Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis. In an Order dated December 28, 2005 (docket

entry #2), the Court ordered Plaintiff to file, within thirty days, an In Forma Pauperis application

or the statutory filing fee. Plaintiff was also cautioned of the requirements of Local Rule 5.5(c)(2),

which provides that if any communication from the Court to a pro se litigant is not responded to

within thirty days, the case may be dismissed without prejudice. 

More than thirty days have passed since the entry date of that Order, and Plaintiff has not

responded to the Court’s Order. Under these circumstances, the Court concludes that this case

should be dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with Local Rule 5.5(c)(2). See Miller

v. Benson, 51 F.3d 166, 168 (8th Cir. 1995)(“District courts have inherent power to dismiss sua

sponte a case for failure to prosecute, and we review the exercise of this power for abuse of

discretion.”)

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Complaint (docket entry #1) be and it is

hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. 

DATED this 3rd day of February, 2006.
