Plaintiffs,
Case No. 16-cv-13985
Hon. Matthew F. Leitman
v.
BUREAU OF COMMUNITY AND
HEALTH SYSTEMS et al.,
Defendants.

ORDER DISMISSING PLAINTIFFS’ COMPLAINT (ECF #1)
WITHOUT PREJUDICE
On November 10, 2016, Plaintiffs Ralph Harris (“Mr. Harris”) and Theresa
Burnett-Harris (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) filed this action against the Michigan
Bureau of Community and Health Systems, Larry Horvath, and Emilee C. Smith
(collectively, “Defendants”). (See Compl., ECF #1.)
Among other things,
Plaintiffs appear to allege that Mr. Harris was mistreated while a resident of the
Beaconshire Nursing Centre and that Defendants committed fraud and other
misconduct related to an investigation of Plaintiffs’ mistreatment allegations. (See
id.)

On November 30, 2016, the Court entered a written Order in which it
required Plaintiffs to file a More Definite Statement with respect to their
allegations against the Defendants by no later than January 16, 2017 (the “Order”).
(See ECF #6.) The Court then expressly warned Plaintiffs that the “[f]ailure to
comply as directed may result in the dismissal of this action.” (Id. at 4, Pg. ID 28;
emphasis in original).
Plaintiffs have failed to comply with the Order and have not filed a More
Definite Statement as the Court required.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY
ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ Complaint (ECF #1) is DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE for failure to comply with the Order.
