IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

THOMAS WAYLON BOYD,

ADC #153333 PLAINTIFF

V. CASE NO. 5:19-cv-272-DPM-BD

KIM D. LUM, et. al. DEFENDANTS

RECOMMENDED DISPOSITION

I. Procedures for Filing Objections

This Recommendation has been sent to Chief Judge D. P. Marshall Jr. Mr. Boyd

may file written objections if he disagrees with the findings or conclusions set out in the 

Recommendation. Objections should be specific and should include the factual or legal 

basis for the objection. 

To be considered, objections must be filed within 14 days. If Mr. Boyd does not 

file objections, he risks waiving the right to appeal questions of fact. And, if no 

objections are filed, Judge Marshall can adopt this Recommendation without 

independently reviewing the record. 

II. Discussion

Mr. Boyd is incarcerated in the Bowie County Correctional Center. He filed this 

civil rights lawsuit on August 20, 2019, complaining about various disciplinaries he 

received, but did not file an application to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP) or pay a filing 

fee. (Docket entry #1) Mr. Boyd was ordered to address the filing fee requirement by

submitting a completed IFP application or by paying the filing fee by September 23, 

2019. (#2, #4) 

Mr. Boyd has failed to comply with the Court’s Orders, and the time for doing so 

has passed. The Court specifically cautioned Mr. Boyd that his claims could be dismissed 

if he failed to comply with the Court’s Orders. (#2, #4)

III. Conclusion

Mr. Boyd’s claims should be DISMISSED, without prejudice, based on his failure 

to comply with the Court’s August 22, 2019 and September 17, 2019 Orders to address 

the filing fee. 

DATED, this 5th day of February, 2020.
