IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

FORT SMITH DIVISION

ELVERT JACKSON McCORMICK PLAINTIFF

v. Civil No. 05-2038

CLARKSVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT, et al. DEFENDANT

MAGISTRATE JUDGE’S REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION

Elvert Jackson McCormick filed this pro se civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 on

March 9, 2005. On the same day, the court entered an order (Doc. 2) directing plaintiff to complete

an in forma pauperis (IFP) application within thirty (30) days or pay the $250 filing fee. To date,

McCormick has not responded to the order by returning the completed and signed IFP application,

paid the filing fee, or communicated with the court. The order to submit a completed IFP

application was returned to the court as undeliverable, however despite the court's diligent efforts,

no later address for plaintiff has been found. 

I therefore recommend that McCormick’s claims be dismissed on the grounds that he has

failed to prosecute this action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). McCormick hasten days from receipt

of this report and recommendation in which to file written objections pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 636(b)(1). The failure to file timely written objections may result in waiver of the right to

appeal questions of fact. McCormick is reminded that objections must be both timely and

specific to trigger de novo review by the district court. 

DATED this 20th day of September 2005.
