IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

PINE BLUFF DIVISION

KENNY HALFACRE 

ADC #84410 PLAINTIFF

V. 5:05CV00109WRW/JTR

 

LARRY NORRIS, Director,

Arkansas Department of Correction, et al. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

On August 5, 2005, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss and Supporting Brief arguing

that this pro se § 1983 action should be dismissed because Plaintiff failed to fully and properly

exhaust his administrative remedies. See docket entries #14 and #15. The Court concludes that

a Response from Plaintiff would be helpful to the resolution of that Motion.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED THAT:

1. Plaintiff shall file, within thirty days of the entry of this Order, a Response1 to

Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (docket entry #14).

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. A

party appearing for himself/herself shall sign his/her pleadings and state his/her address, zip code,

and telephone number. 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. Any party proceeding pro

se shall be expected to be familiar with and follow the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.”
