December 19, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 6 FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE: This action should be DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for failure to comply with a court order and for lack of prosecution. See FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b) (an involuntary dismissal "operates as an adjudication on the merits," unless otherwise specified). (Ordered by Magistrate Judge Renee Harris Toliver on 12/19/2025) (kcr)
November 18, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 5 ELECTRONIC ORDER:. On November 4, 2025, Plaintiff filed this new civil rights action. However, the complaint and supplement allege no factual bases or causes of action, thus they fail to state a claim. Doc. #3 ; Doc. #4 (referencing a second supplemental pleading not yet filed). Additionally, this new cause of action appears duplicative of Plaintiff's other pending case Leonard v. Thomas, et al., No. 3:24-CV-1780-D-BN, filed July 10, 2024. Should Plaintiff proceed with this new action; a second filing fee will be assessed. As Plaintiff was already granted in forma pauperis status under the Prisoner Litigation Reform Act, which required him to pay the $350 filing fee in monthly installments, the Court finds it appropriate to advise whether he intends to do so before a second filing fee is ordered. Accordingly, Plaintiff is ORDERED to inform the Court whether he intends to proceed with Case No. 3:25-cv-2999-N-BK by December 9, 2025. (Ordered by Magistrate Judge Renee Harris Toliver on 11/18/2025) (chmb)
