Case No. 6:23-cv-6136
JAILER ZACH MARSHALL; and
SHERIFF JASON WATSON
DEFENDANTS
ORDER
Before the Court is a Report and Recommendation (“R&R”) issued by the Honorable
Christy D. Comstock, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas. ECF
No. 28. Judge Comstock recommends that Plaintiff’s Complaint (ECF No. 1) be dismissed without
prejudice for failure to prosecute this matter and for failure to obey orders of the Court, in violation
of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) and Local Rule 5.5(c)(2), respectively.
Plaintiff has not objected to the R&R, and the time to do so has passed. See 28 U.S.C. §
636(b)(1). Upon review, finding no clear error on the face of the record and that Judge Comstock’s
reasoning is sound, the Court adopts the R&R (ECF No. 28) in toto. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s
Complaint (ECF No. 1) is hereby DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 27th day of January, 2025.
