Document:
The plaintiff brought this action seeking relief pursuant to Title 42, United States Code, Section 1983. On September 28, October 15 and October 26, 2007, the defendants filed motions for summary judgment. By orders of this court filed October 2, October 17 and October 30, 2007, pursuant to Roseboro v. Garrison, 528 F.2d 309 (4th Cir. 1975), the plaintiff was advised of the summary judgment procedure and the possible consequences if he failed to respond adequately. Despite this explanation, the plaintiff elected not to respond to any of the motions. TheRoseboro order filed October 30, 2007, has been returned to the court. Plaintiff has failed to give the court his current address.
As the plaintiff is proceeding pro se, the court filed a second order on November 8, 2007, allowing the plaintiff an additional fifteen days in which to advise the court whether he wished to continue to prosecute this action. The plaintiff was specifically advised that if he failed to respond, this action would be dismissed for failure to prosecute. The order has also been returned as undeliverable because plaintiff has failed to give the court his current address.
(4) the existence of less drastic sanctions other than dismissal.
Davis v. Williams, 588 F.2d 69 (4th Cir. 1978).
In the present case, the plaintiff is proceeding pro se so he is entirely responsible for his actions. It is solely through plaintiff's neglect, and not that of an attorney, that no responses have been filed. Plaintiff has not responded to defendants' motion for summary judgment or the court's orders requiring him to respond. No other reasonable sanctions are available. Accordingly, it is recommended that this action be dismissed pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.Proc. 41(b).
The parties' attention is directed to the important information on the attached notice.
The parties are advised that they may file specific written objections to this Report and Recommendation with the District Court Judge. Objections must specifically identify the portions of the Report and Recommendation to which objections are made and the basis for such objections. In the absence of a timely filed objection, a district court need not conduct a de novo review, but instead must "only satisfy itself that there is no clear error on the face of the record in order to accept the recommendation." Diamond v. Colonial Life Acc. Ins. Co., 416 F.3d 310 (4th Cir. 2005).
