Prince, Marvin v. Lloyd, K. et al

ORDER dismissing this case without prejudice for plaintiff's failure to prosecute it. The clerk of court is directed to enter judgment in favor of defendants and close this case. Signed by District Judge James D. Peterson on 2/29/2016. (jef),(ps)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

MARVIN PRINCE,
Plaintiff,

OPINION & ORDER

v.

14-cv-677-jdp

MS. K. LLOYD and MS. K. GEISSLER,
Defendants.

In an order entered on November 13, 2015, I dismissed plaintiff Marvin Prince’s
complaint for failure to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8. Dkt. 9. This order
was returned to the court as undelivered because plaintiff had been released from custody.
The clerk of court made efforts to locate plaintiff through the Wisconsin Department of
Corrections and resent the order to his probation office. In a January 14, 2016, order,
Magistrate Judge Crocker gave plaintiff a new deadline (February 4, 2016) to submit his
proposed amended complaint. It is well past that deadline and plaintiff has not responded.
Whether or not plaintiff actually received a copy of the November 13 order, it is his
obligation to keep the court apprised of an address where he can be reached. Because there is
no indication that plaintiff would like to continue litigating this case, IT IS ORDERED that
this case is dismissed without prejudice for plaintiff’s failure to prosecute it. The clerk of
court is directed to enter judgment in favor of defendants and close this case.
Entered February 29, 2016.
BY THE COURT:
