IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF KANSAS

CAMERON J. WALTON,
Plaintiff,
v.

CASE NO. 13-3037-SAC

JOHN DOE, et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

This matter is a civil action filed by a plaintiff incarcerated
at the Leavenworth, Kansas, detention facility operated by the
Corrections Corporation of America. By an order entered on April 24,
2013, the court granted plaintiff to and including May 24, 2013, to
submit an initial partial filing fee. Plaintiff was advised the
failure to file a timely response might result in the dismissal of
this matter without prejudice and without additional prior notice to
him. There has been no response.
A court has the inherent power to dismiss an action for failure
to prosecute to ensure the orderly and expeditious resolution of its
cases. Link v. Wabash Railroad Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630-31 (1962).
Because the plaintiff has filed no response to the order of April 24,
2013, the court concludes this matter may be dismissed.
IT IS, THEREFORE, BY THE COURT ORDERED this matter is dismissed
without prejudice.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED plaintiff’s motions to proceed in forma
pauperis (Doc. 2) and for the appointment of counsel (Doc. 3) are
denied.

A copy of this order shall be transmitted to the plaintiff.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED:

This 4th day of June, 2013, at Topeka, Kansas.
