IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
WESTERN DIVISION
FREDERICK BANKS
v.

PLAINTIFF
Case. No. 4:13-cv-00456-KGB

SHERWOOD ADAMS, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

Plaintiff Frederick Banks filed his complaint on July 5, 2013, in the United States District
Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania (Dkt. No. 1). On August 8, 2013, the United
States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania transferred the case to this Court
upon a finding that venue was proper in the Eastern District of Arkansas (Dkt. No. 5). Since that
date, Mr. Banks has not continued to pursue his claim. None of the defendants have been served
in this action. Mr. Banks has not filed anything except his original complaint.
On September 14, 2016, this Court ordered Mr. Banks to show excusable neglect
regarding his failure to serve timely defendants within 14 days of the entry of that Order or his
case would be dismissed (Dkt. No. 7). 14 days have passed, and Mr. Banks has not made a filing
with the Court showing excusable neglect. Therefore, this action is dismissed without prejudice.
So ordered this the 30th day of September, 2016.
