No. 1:15-CV-88 SNLJ

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on its own motion. On May 20, 2015,
plaintiff filed this action against the City of New Madrid and several police officers
who arrested him for operating a business without a license. On June 8, 2015, the
Court stayed this action under Wallace v. Kato because of pending criminal
charges against plaintiff pertaining to the arrest. At that time, a jury trial was
scheduled for June 17, 2015.
The Court ordered plaintiff to notify it when the judgment in the criminal
action became final. To this date, plaintiff has not updated the Court on the status
of the criminal action. Therefore, the Court will order plaintiff to give it a status
update.
Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff must notify the Court, no later
than fourteen (14) days from the date of this Order, of the status of Missouri v.
Gibbs, No. 12NM-CR00544 (New Madrid County).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff fails to comply with this
Order, the Court will dismiss this action without further proceedings.
Dated this 13th day of December, 2016.

STEPHEN N. LIMBAUGH, JR.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
