Opinion
Case No.: 3:08cv272/MCR/EMT.
December 2, 2008
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
This cause is before the court upon referral from the clerk. Plaintiff SIDNEY MARTS commenced this action by filing a civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Doc. 1). Plaintiff EDDIE WILLIAMS joined this cause of action on August 19, 2008, and was given thirty (30) days in which to pay the filing fee or submit a separate motion to proceed in forma pauperis (Doc. 20). Plaintiff failed to respond to the order; therefore, on October 22, 2008, the court issued an order requiring Plaintiff to show cause, within twenty (20) days, why this action should not be dismissed for failure to comply with an order of the court (Doc. 42). The time for compliance with the show cause order has now elapsed with no response from Plaintiff.
Accordingly, it is respectfully RECOMMENDED:
1. That Plaintiff Eddie Williams be terminated as a Plaintiff in this cause of action, and further, that Plaintiff Eddie Williams' case be DISMISSED without prejudice for failure to comply with an order of the court.
2. That the clerk be directed to change the docket to reflect that Plaintiff Eddie Williams is terminated as a Plaintiff in this cause of action.
At Pensacola, Florida.
