MEMORANDUM AND OPINION DISMISSING CASE
Chavez D. Price is an inmate of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice - Correctional
Institutions Division who sought to proceed without prepaying fees or costs. In an order entered on
March 10,2015, (Docket Entry No.6), the court told Price to send a certified copy of his inmate trust
fund account history showing the deposits and monthly balances for the six months before he filed
this suit. The order set an April 15, 2015 deadline and warned Price that failing to comply within
the deadline could result in the dismissal of his suit.
Price has not responded to the court's March 10,2015 order. Price's failure to comply with
this court's order forces this court to conclude that he lacks due diligence. The case is dismissed
because Price failed to comply with the court's order and failed to prosecute the case. See FED. R.
Crv. P. 41(b); Link v. Wabash R.R., 370 U.S. 626 (1962); Woodson v. Surgitek, Inc., 57 F.3d 1406,
1417 (5th Cir. 1995); 8 J. MOORE ET AL., MOORE'S FEDERAL PRACTICE § 41.51(3)(b) & (e) (3d ed.
2010). This action is dismissed without prejudice. Price's motion for leave to file explanation,
(Docket Entry No.4), is granted.
SIGNED on April 20, 2015, at Houston, Texas.
