IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

JONESBORO DIVISION 

BRIAN JAMES PLAINTIFF 

v. Case No. 3:14-cv-00020-KGB 

 

LADD, Officer, Jonesboro 

Police Department; et al. DEFENDANTS 

ORDER

Plaintiff Brian James has not responded to or complied with the Court’s prior Order to 

notify the Court of his current address (Dkt. No. 13). Pursuant to Rule 5.5(c)(2) of the Rules of 

the United States District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Arkansas, the Court 

dismisses without prejudice this action (Dkt. Nos. 1, 4). 

Mr. James filed suit against defendants Officer Asa Ladd and the City of Jonesboro 

Police Department. The Court dismissed Mr. James’s claims against the City of Jonesboro 

Police Department (Dkt. No. 12). The Court is aware that Officer Ladd filed a motion for 

summary judgment that is pending. Based on a review of the docket in this matter, it appears 

that Mr. James did not receive Officer Ladd’s answer (Dkt. No. 19). The Court notes that 

Officer Ladd attempted service of the motion for summary judgment on Mr. James at the same 

address to which Officer Ladd sent his answer (Dkt. No. 20). As a result, Mr. James may not 

have received a copy of the motion for summary judgment. For these reasons, the Court declines 

to reach the merits of the motion for summary judgment. The Court denies all pending motions 

as moot and dismisses without prejudice this action for the reasons stated. 

SO ORDERED this the 1st day of September, 2015.
