NO. 1:16-cv-52

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
DISMISSING CASE FOR FAILURE TO PROSECUTE
This case is referred to the Honorable Zack Hawthorn, United States Magistrate Judge,
pursuant to General Order 05-07.

Judge Hawthorn has entered a report in this matter,

recommending this case be dismissed for failure to prosecute pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure. Doc. No. 18. Judge Hawthorn recommended dismissing this case
because Plaintiffs James Edwards and Jewana L. Smith failed to provide the court with a physical
address to deliver correspondence from the court in this matter. The court has since received
notice that the mailed copies of Judge Hawthorn’s report to Plaintiffs has been returned as
unclaimed. Doc. Nos. 19, 20. Accordingly, the court adopts Judge Hawthorn’s report and
DISMISSES this matter without prejudice in accordance with Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure. The Clerk of Court is directed to close this case.
So ORDERED and SIGNED this 22 day of March, 2017.
