Description
Order Tony L. Smith appeals the district court's dismissal of his suit, brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983,1 for failing to comply with the court's orders to file a separate, complete, amended complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). We review a dismissal under Rule 41(b) for an abuse of discretion, examining the ""procedural history of the case and the situation at the time of dismissal."" Casteel v. Pieschek, 3 F.3d 1050 (7th Cir. 1993). As the district court noted, Mr. Smith was ordered on three separate occasions to file an amended complaint. Although Mr. Smith was able to file many other documents with the court, he failed to file an amended complaint. We cannot say that the district court abused its discretion in dismissing Smith's suit. Therefore, for the reasons stated in the attached order, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
