Akeem James Millender v. Kenneth Butler

Summary

The United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama dismisses Akeem James Millender’s pro se action without prejudice for failure to prosecute. The dismissal follows his failure to amend the complaint as ordered, failure to update his mailing address, and failure to file objections to the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation.

Holdings

1. A pro se inmate's failure to comply with an order to amend the complaint, compounded by failure to update his address so that the court cannot contact him, warranted dismissal for failure to prosecute.

Questions Presented

1. Whether the action should be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute based on the plaintiff's failure to comply with the order to amend his complaint and failure to maintain a current mailing address.

Disposition
