IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS
CENTRAL DIVISION
GERHARD LANGGUTH

v.
PLAINTIFF
Case No. 4:24-CV-00683-LPR
ALLEN JONES, et al.
DEFENDANTS
ORDER
Plaintiff Gerhard Langguth filed this action pro se.1 On August 28, 2024, the Court entered
an Order (1) denying Mr. Langguth’s incomplete request to proceed in forma pauperis and
(2) directing him to file an Amended Complaint.2 The Court explained that Mr. Langguth’s
Complaint was scantily pled, very confusing, and failed to state a claim.3 So, the Court gave Mr.
Langguth forty-five days to amend his Complaint and to file a completed application to proceed
in forma pauperis.4 Mr. Langguth was warned that failure to file to comply with either directive
would result in the dismissal of his case.5
On September 4, 2024, Mr. Langguth filed a Notice reporting that officials with the Pulaski
County Detention Facility had refused to assist him in completing the required documentation to
proceed in forma pauperis.6
To date, however, Mr. Langguth has not filed an amended
complaint—and the time to do so has expired. Accordingly, for the reasons stated in the Court’s
August 28, 2024 Order, Mr. Langguth’s Complaint (Doc. 2) is DISMISSED without prejudice for
1
Compl. (Doc. 2).

failure to state a claim. The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an in forma
pauperis appeal of this Order and the accompanying Judgment would not be taken in good faith.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 29th day of January 2025.
