CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:18cv242-MHT (WO)

CLAYTON SHARPLESS, Plaintiff, v. WALTER WOODS, Warden, Defendant.
OPINION
A federal prisoner filed this lawsuit seeking the temporary evacuation of all prisoners from Federal Prison Camp Maxwell; he contends that, due to an infestation of bats and the resulting bat excrement in the prison's buildings, the prisoners incarcerated there are forced to live and work in unsanitary, unsafe conditions, in violation of the Eighth Amendment. Plaintiff is one among a large group of prisoners who signed on to the lawsuit. See Memorandum of Law (Certificate of Interested Persons) (doc. no. 2-1) at 9-18. A separate case was opened for each signatory. This lawsuit is now before the court on the recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge that plaintiff's case be dismissed without prejudice for failure of plaintiff to comply with court orders. There are no objections to the recommendation. After an independent and de novo review of the record, the court concludes that the magistrate judge's recommendation should be adopted.
An appropriate judgment will be entered.
DONE, this the 27th day of June, 2018.
/s/ Myron H. Thompson
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
