____________________________________
ORDER
After this action was reopened, Vernon Jewel Pearson III was ordered to file a
certificate of interested persons and an updated case management report by May 14, 2024.
(Doc. 25). That deadline was later extended to June 21, 2024. (Doc. 27) at 4. After Pearson
failed to comply, he was ordered to, by July 24, 2024, either file a certificate of interested
persons and an updated case management report or show cause why the action should not
be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. (Doc. 28). Pearson was warned that
failure to timely respond to the show-cause order would result in dismissal without further
notice. (Doc. 28).
Even accounting for the extra three days provided for mailing by Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 6(d), Pearson fails to timely respond to the show-cause order. Accordingly,

this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for failure to prosecute and for
failure to comply with court orders. See Local Rule 3.10. The Clerk must CLOSE this
case and ENTER JUDGMENT for Experian Information Solutions, Inc. and against
Pearson, which shall read “This action is dismissed without prejudice.”
ORDERED in Tampa, Florida, on August 29, 2024.
