NORRIS MILES (# 243761)

CIVIL ACTION

VERSUS
ASCENSION PARISH JAIL, ET AL.

NO. 15-0830-JWD-EWD

RULING
The pro se petitioner, a prisoner confined at the Ascension Parish Correctional Center,
Donaldsonville, Louisiana, filed this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. ' 1983 against the Ascension
Parish Jail and another prisoner at the facility, John Slaughter.

The plaintiff complains that

inmate Slaughter unilaterally instigated an attack upon the plaintiff in November, 2015, allegedly
stabbing the plaintiff in the chest, head and face, and the plaintiff complains that the co-inmate
was not punished whereas the plaintiff was placed in segregated confinement for six (6) days.
The plaintiff further appears to complain that he was not provided with appropriate medical
attention after the referenced attack.
Pursuant to correspondence dated January 11, 2016 (R. Doc. 3), the Court directed the
plaintiff to file with the Court, within twenty-one (21) days, a properly completed Statement of
Account (a blank copy of which was attached to the referenced correspondence), certifying to the
average six-month deposits and balance in his prisoner accounts.

The Court=s correspondence

further specifically advised the plaintiff that Afailure to amend the pleadings or provide the
requested information or forms as indicated will result in the dismissal of your suit by the Court
without further notice.@ Id.

A review of the record by the Court reflects that, despite notice and an opportunity to
appear, the plaintiff has failed to respond to the Court=s directive as required.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that the above-captioned proceeding be DISMISSED, without
prejudice, for failure of the plaintiff to correct the deficiencies of which he was notified.
Judgment shall be entered accordingly.
Signed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on March 14, 2016.
