Civil Action No. 7:23-cv-00494
By: Elizabeth K. Dillon
Chief United States District Judge

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Keyanta Lamont Moore, a Virginia inmate proceeding pro se, filed this civil rights action
pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Defendant moved to dismiss (Dkt. No. 20), and the court issued a
Roseboro notice on April 5, 2024. (Dkt. No. 22.) The order explained that if plaintiff does not
respond to the motion in a timely manner, the court will assume either that plaintiff lost interest
in the case or that plaintiff agrees with what defendant states in his pleadings, and the case could
be dismissed for failure to prosecute.
The time to respond has passed, and plaintiff did not respond to defendant’s motion.
Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE
for failure to prosecute. All pending motions are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as
moot. The Clerk is directed to STRIKE this case from the court’s active docket and to transmit a
copy of this order to plaintiff and to all counsel of record.
Entered: March 10, 2025.
