UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF KENTUCKY AT LOUISVILLE CHARLES McCRANEY PLAINTIFF v. CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:12-CV-P77-R LOUISVILLE METRO POLICE DEPT. et al. DEFENDANTS MEMORANDUM OPINION Plaintiff Charles McCraney filed a pro se, in forma pauperis complaint and amended complaint. On initial review, the Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause within 30 days of entry of the Order why his discrimination claim should not be dismissed as time-barred. The Order was returned by the U.S. Postal Service marked: Return to Sender. Because a letter sent by Plaintiff in another case before this Court had a new address, The Burns M. Brady Center, the Order in the instant case was remailed to Plaintiff at that address. That mailing has not been returned. More than 30 days have passed, and Plaintiff has failed to respond to the Court s showcause Order. Courts have an inherent power acting on their own initiative, to clear their calendars of cases that have remained dormant because of the inaction or dilatoriness of the parties seeking relief. Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630 (1962). Therefore, by separate Order, the Court will dismiss the instant action. See FED. R. CIV. P. 41(b) (governing involuntary dismissal). Date: November 27, 2012 cc: Plaintiff, pro se 4413.009
