In Adams v. Forum Personnel Inc., Judge Swain dismissed the action after Tommy F. Adams failed to file the required amended complaint.
The action brought by Tommy F. Adams against Forum Personnel Inc. and the Director of Human Resources was dismissed. The opinion does not identify the underlying claims or explain the earlier order's reasons for dismissal.
What happened
In Adams v. Forum Personnel Inc., the court had previously allowed Tommy F. Adams 60 days to file an amended complaint and warned that failing to do so would lead to dismissal. Adams did not file one.
The court dismissed the action for the reasons stated in its October 3, 2023 order. The opinion provided here does not include that earlier order or explain those underlying reasons.
Chief Judge Laura Taylor Swain also denied Adams permission to proceed without paying filing fees for an appeal, certified that an appeal would not be taken in good faith, and directed the clerk to enter judgment dismissing the action.
The detailed version
- Adams v. Forum Personnel Inc. · No. 1:23-cv-06170
- Laura Swain
- Jan. 3, 2024
Background
By order dated October 3, 2023, the court granted Tommy F. Adams leave to file an amended complaint within 60 days. That order stated that failing to comply would result in dismissal for the reasons explained in that order. Adams did not file an amended complaint.
Ruling
The court dismissed the action for the reasons set forth in the October 3 order. The opinion provided here does not include that earlier order, so it does not specify the underlying claims, the stated grounds for dismissal, or whether the court reached the merits.
The court certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from the order would not be taken in good faith. It therefore denied permission to appeal without paying filing fees. The court directed the clerk to enter judgment dismissing the action. The order was signed by Chief United States District Judge Laura Taylor Swain.
