II. Discussion

Ahmeen Mumit, a former Arkansas Department of Correction ("ADC") inmate, filed this lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that Defendants Lay, Dickerson, and Reed violated his first amendment rights by confiscating his photographs without a legitimate penological purpose. (Docket entry #2) Mr. Mumit sued the Defendants in both their individual and official capacities and requested both monetary and injunctive relief. Defendant Dickerson is the only remaining Defendant. (#24)

On October 2, 2017, Defendant Dickerson moved for an order compelling Mr. Mumit to respond to her discovery requests propounded on August 14, 2017. (#30) The Court granted the motion and ordered Mr. Mumit to file his discovery responses with the Court by November 6, 2017. (#32) The Court specifically cautioned Mr. Mumit that his claims could be dismissed, without prejudice, if he failed to comply with the court's October 10, 2017 order. Local Rule 5.5. To date, Mr. Mumit has not filed his discovery responses with the Court and the time for doing so has passed.

III. Conclusion

The Court recommends that Mr. Mumit's claims be DISMISSED, without prejudice, based on his failure to comply with the Court's October 10, 2017 order and his failure to prosecute this lawsuit.
