IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

EDWARD ARNEILL HARPER,

ADC #121420 PLAINTIFF

v. 4:10-cv-00197-JMM-JJV

DOES, Medical Staff, Texarkana

Work Release DEFENDANTS

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

By Order dated April 30, 2009 (Doc. No. 7), this Court granted Plaintiff’s Application

to Proceed In Forma Pauperis (Doc. No. 6) in this action, filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

However, finding Plaintiff’s complaint too vague and conclusory to enable it to determine

whether it was frivolous, failed to state a claim, or stated a legitimate cause of action, the

Court directed Plaintiff to file an amended complaint within thirty days of the date of the

Order. The Court further advised Plaintiff that failure to file such in accordance with the

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

this date, however, Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint.

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 Plaintiff’s failure to respond to this Court's April 30, 2010 Order, the Court

Case 4:10-cv-00197-JMM Document 9 Filed 06/15/10 Page 1 of 2

will dismiss the Complaint without prejudice. Accordingly,

IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that this Complaint is DISMISSED without

prejudice. An appropriate judgment shall accompany this Memorandum and Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 15th day of June, 2010.
