IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

LITTLE ROCK DIVISION

SHARONDA RODGERS PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 4:15-cv-00251-KGB

PHILANDER SMITH COLLEGE and

KEVIN BARNES, Director of Financial

Aid, Philander Smith College DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Plaintiff Sharonda Rodgers brings this action pro se against defendants Philander Smith 

College and Kevin Barnes, the Director of Financial Aid at Philander Smith College (Dkt. No. 

2). Before the Court is Ms. Rodgers’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Dkt. No. 

1). In its May 19, 2015, Order, the Court directed Ms. Rodgers to refile a complete motion for 

leave to proceed in forma pauperis within 15 days of the entry of that Order. Ms. Rodgers has 

not filed a complete motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and the time to do so has 

passed. Accordingly, Ms. Rodgers’s has failed to comply with the Court’s May 19, 2015, Order. 

Therefore, the Court denies Ms. Rodgers’s motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis and 

dismisses without prejudice Ms. Rodgers’s action for her failure to prosecute. Fed. R. Civ. P. 

41(b); Dudley v. Roy, Civil No. 13-3400 (DSD/HB), 2015 WL 75257, at *3 (D. Minn. January 6, 

2015) (“Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) permits a court to dismiss an action without 

prejudice when a party does not comply with a court order.”). 

SO ORDERED this 12th day of August, 2015.
