DERRICK WILLIS, PLAINTIFF v. JESSE WILLIAMS, DEFENDANT
ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO REOPEN CASE
ROY PERCY, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
This matter comes before the Court upon Plaintiff Derrick Willis' pro se motion [33] to reopen the instant case. On August 24, 2021, the Court entered an order, for the second time, dismissing the instant case without prejudice due to Plaintiff's repeated failures to comply with directives from the Court. Doc. # 28; see also Doc. # 17. In the instant motion, Plaintiff asks that his case be reopened and argues that his most recent failure to comply with the Court's order [22] was due to circumstances beyond his control. See Doc. # 33. Upon due consideration, and particularly taking into account that Plaintiff is proceeding pro se, the Court finds that the instant motion [33] should be GRANTED, and that the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to reopen this case and place it back on the Court's active docket. The Court cautions Plaintiff, once again, that any future failure to comply with orders of this Court will not be viewed favorably.
SO ORDERED.
