WILBERT COLEMAN PLAINTIFF v. TIMOTHY MORRIS, ET AL. DEFENDANTS
ORDER DISMISSING DEFENDANTS MATHIS, SMITH, WILLIAM, THICKPEN, AND MENDFORD
DAVID A. SANDERS, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
The court takes up, sua sponte, the dismissal of defendants Mathis, Smith, William, Thickpen, and Mendford. On March 10, 2022, the court entered an order requiring the plaintiff to provide a valid address for service of process upon defendants Mathis, Smith, William, Thickpen, and Mendford (or, at a minimum, provide enough information such that MDOC may identify them). The court cautioned the plaintiff that failure to comply with the order would result in the dismissal of these defendants without prejudice. Despite this warning, the plaintiff has failed to comply with the court's order, and the deadline for compliance passed on March 31, 2022. Defendants Mathis, Smith, William, Thickpen, and Mendford are therefore DISMISSED without prejudice from this case for failure to prosecute and for failure to comply with an order of the court under Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b).
SO ORDERED.
