ORDER OF DISMISSAL
This cause is before the Court sua sponte. At the time he filed suit, pro se Plaintiff Eric
Stapleton was incarcerated at the Hinds County Detention Center. On June 3, 2015, the Court
ordered [10] Stapleton to sign and return his Response [9] to the Court’s prior Order [8] by June
17, 2015. The Order [10] was returned as undeliverable [11]. On July 6, 2015, the Court entered
an Order to Show Cause [12], directing Stapleton to show cause by July 23, 2015, why this case
should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to file a response to the Court’s Order
[10].
To date, Stapleton has not filed his Response, notified the Court of his address change, or
otherwise contacted the Court. In each of the Court’s prior Orders [7, 8, 10, 12], Stapleton was
advised that a failure to keep the Court apprised of his address and/or a failure to comply with
any Court Order may result in dismissal.
Accordingly, the Court finds this action should be dismissed without prejudice.
A separate judgment will be entered in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
58.
SO ORDERED AND ADJUDGED this the 6th day of August, 2015.
