Bates v. Ferguson et al Doc. 25 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS FAYETTEVILLE DIVISION JASON ANDREW BATES v. Civil No. 09-5239 DEFENDANTS PLAINTIFF SHERIFF KEITH FERGUSON, et al. O R D E R Now on this 15th day of March, 2011, comes on for consideration the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge (Doc. 23), dated December 7, 2010, in which she recommends that this case be dismissed for plaintiff's failure to prosecute and failure to follows a court order. In the Report and Recommendation, the Magistrate Judge advised plaintiff that he had fourteen (14) days to file an objection. On January 6, 2011 -- 31 days after the Magistrate Judge issued her Report and Recommendation -plaintiff filed his objection to the Report and Recommendation in which he asserts that he did respond to the Magistrate Judge's order and requested help in responding to the pending summary judgment motion. The Court has reviewed the docket sheet in this case and there is no record of plaintiff's response to the Magistrate Judge's order. Further, plaintiff's objection to the Report and Recommendation was untimely filed.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that plaintiff's objection (Doc. 24) is overruled. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 23) is hereby adopted in toto; and IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff's complaint is hereby DISMISSED for failure to prosecute and failure to follow court orders. IT IS SO ORDERED. /s/JIMM LARRY HENDREN JIMM LARRY HENDREN UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
