Case No. 4:24-cv-01694-ACA-JHE

ORDER
Plaintiff Bradley Edward Williams filed a pro se complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983
(Doc. 1), along with an application to proceed in forma pauperis (Docs. 2). On December 10,
2025, the undersigned granted Mr. Williams’ application to proceed in forma pauperis and
ordered him to pay an initial partial filing fee of $29.83 and return a signed Prisoner Consent
Form within 30 days. (Doc. 4 at 1–2). The undersigned warned Mr. Williams that if he did not
comply with the order within 30 days, the court may dismiss this action without further notice.
(Doc. 4 at 2).
More than 30 days elapsed, and Mr. Williams did not comply with or otherwise respond
to the order. On January 17, 2025, the undersigned entered a report recommending the court
dismiss this action without prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) based on
Mr. Wiliams’ failure to prosecute his claims. (Doc. 5).
On the same day, the court received Mr. Williams’ signed Prisoner Consent Form. (Doc.
6). And on March 3, 2025, Mr. Williams notified the court that although he had asked Etowah
County Jail officials to deduct the initial partial filing fee from his inmate account and mail it to
the court, jail officials refused to do so. (Doc. 8 at 1).

Based on the foregoing, the undersigned WITHDRAWS his report entered January 17,
2025, recommending dismissal of this action based on Mr. Williams’ failure to prosecute his
claims. (Doc. 5).
DONE this 5th day of March, 2025.
