PLAINTIFF 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.

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. /s/ Susan O. Hickey Susan O.
