IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
WESTERN DIVISION
EUGENE SPEARS,
ADC #601695
v.

PLAINTIFF
CASE NO. 4:11-cv-00299-BSM-JTK

ANGELA BROWN, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

On April 14, 2011, plaintiff’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis was granted.
Because plaintiff’s complaint was vague and conclusory, plaintiff was directed to submit and
amended complaint within thirty days. Plaintiff was also advised that a failure to file an
amended complaint would result in dismissal without prejudice. As of this date 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. . . .
Because plaintiff has failed to amend his complaint as directed, this case is DISMISSED
without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 23rd day of May, 2011.
