FREDERIC ROBERTS, Plaintiff, v. SCOTT GLENN MCGHEE, DAWN PASQUALE, MICHAEL WILLIAMS, PAUL BOSCO, ROBERT FURMAN, CLEARWATER POLICE DEPARTMENT, and CITY OF CLEARWATER, Defendants.
ORDER
STEVEN D. MERRYDAY, UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Frederic Roberts sued the defendants in Florida state court under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and state tort law. (Doc. 3-2.) The defendants removed the action on July 26, 2022. (Doc. 1.) Roberts fails to appear.
A July 29, 2022 order directs Roberts to file a notice of related action and disclosure statement within fourteen days. (Doc. 4 ¶¶ 1-2). After Roberts failed to comply, another order requires Roberts to submit the notice and disclosure no later than August 22, 2022. (Doc. 13.) The order notifies Roberts that if he fails to comply, the action is subject to dismissal “without further notice.” (Doc. 13.) Again, Roberts fails to reply. A third order directs Roberts to submit the notice and disclosure by September 13, 2022. (Doc. 22.) The order warns that if Roberts fails to comply, “he must show cause why this action should not be dismissed under Local Rule 3.10 for failure to prosecute.” (Doc. 22.) Notwithstanding these warnings, Roberts fails to submit the necessary documents. Also, Roberts fails to respond timely to the defendants' motions to dismiss. (See Doc. 23; Doc. 24.)
Because Rule 41(b), Fed. R. Civ. P.; Betty K Agencies, Ltd. v. M/V MONADA, 432 F.3d 1333, 1337 (11th Cir. 2005); and Local Rule 3.10 authorize sua sponte dismissal for failure to prosecute, this action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The clerk is directed to TERMINATE any pending motion and deadline and to CLOSE this case.
