BLAKE JARRELLS,

Case No. 7:24-cv-00732
MEMORANDUM OPINION
By:

Hon. Thomas T. Cullen
United States District Judge

On October 16, 2024, Plaintiff Blake Jarrells, proceeding pro se, filed a civil-rights
complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. (See Compl. [ECF No. 1].) On October 23, 2024, the Court
ordered Plaintiff to submit a prisoner trust account report for the six-month period
immediately preceding the filing of the complaint. 1 (Order ¶ 3 [ECF No. 5].) The Court
advised Plaintiff that failure to submit the requested information within 30 days would result
in dismissal of this action. (Id. at 2.)
More than 30 days have elapsed, and Plaintiff has not sent the requested information
as ordered. Accordingly, the Court will dismiss the action without prejudice for failure to
prosecute and to comply with the Court’s order. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Plaintiff may refile
the claims in a separate action, subject to the applicable statute of limitations, once Plaintiff is
prepared to comply with the noted conditions.

1 Plaintiff had not paid the requisite filing fee, so the court granted him the opportunity to apply to proceed in

forma pauperis. To date, Plaintiff has not submitted the assessed filing fee, an application to proceed in forma
pauperis, or the requested financial information.

The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Memorandum Opinion and the
accompanying Order to Plaintiff.
ENTERED this 26th day of November, 2024.
