IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

PAUL E. MASHBURN, JR.,

REG. #76720 PETITIONER

v. 5:05CV00305GH

LARRY NORRIS 

RESPONDENT

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

On November 7, 2005, this Court entered an Order directing petitioner to pay the $5.00

filing fee or file an application to proceed in forma pauperis within thirty days of the date of the

Order (DE #2). The Court further advised petitioner that failure to file such in accordance with

the Court’s directions would result in the dismissal without prejudice of his petition. As of this

date, petitioner has not responded to the Court’s Order.

Rule LR5.5(c)(2) of the Rules of the United States District Courts for the Eastern and

Western Districts of Arkansas provides as follows:

It is the duty of any party not represented by counsel 

to promptly notify the Clerk and the other parties to 

the proceedings of any change in his or her address, 

to monitor the progress of the case and to prosecute 

or defend the action diligently . . . . If any communication from the Court to a pro se plaintiff is not 

responded to within thirty (30) days, the case may be 

dismissed without prejudice. . . .

In light of petitioner’s failure to respond to this Court’s April 22, 2005 Order, the Court

will dismiss the petition without prejudice. Accordingly,

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that this petition is DISMISSED without prejudice. 

An appropriate Judgment shall accompany this Memorandum and Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 14th day of December, 2005.
