UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY AT LOUISVILLE JERRY BALL v. MARION ADJUSTMENT CENTER MEMORANDUM OPINION By Order entered March 5, 2009, this Court ordered Plaintiff to submit a completed 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint form within 30 days. Plaintiff was warned that failure to comply would result in dismissal of his case. More than 30 days have passed, and Plaintiff has failed to submit the completed complaint form. Courts have an inherent power "acting on their own initiative, to clear their calendars of cases that have remained dormant because of the inaction or dilatoriness of the parties seeking relief." Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630 (1962). Therefore, by separate Order, the Court will dismiss the instant action. See FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b) (governing involuntary dismissal). Date:
April 16, 2009
