MEMORANDUM AND ORDER 
 
 This matter is before the Court pursuant to its March 26, 2026, 
Memorandum and Order (Doc. 39) and Plaintiff’s Motion for Reconsideration, 
(Doc. 45). Plaintiff’s Complaint will be dismissed with prejudice. 
 On March 26, 2026, this Court entered a Memorandum and Order 
dismissing Plaintiff’s Complaint with leave to amend due to obvious and various 
pleading deficiencies in the Complaint. (Doc. 39). The Order concluded, “If 
Plaintiff does not file an amended complaint by May 26, 2026, the Court shall 
dismiss this case with prejudice and without further notice to Plaintiff.” (Doc. 39 at 
5). 
 Plaintiff subsequently filed a notice of appeal on April 8, 2026. (Doc. 40). 
On April 17, 2026, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered that Plaintiff’s 
Case: 4:24-cv-01551-CMS     Doc. #:  46     Filed: 06/01/26     Page: 1 of 2 PageID #:

appeal “be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction as premature.” (Doc. 43). The formal 
mandate issued on May 8, 2026. (Doc. 44). 
 Plaintiff then filed a Motion for Reconsideration in this Court on May 15, 
2026. (Doc. 45). In that motion, Plaintiff acknowledged that this Court had directed 
Plaintiff to file an amended complaint by May 26, 2026, or face dismissal with 
prejudice. (Doc. 45 at 2). Instead of filing an amended complaint, Plaintiff  
requested in his Motion for Reconsideration that this Court “expedite entry of its 
memorandum and order adjudicating the case so that Plaintiff can file a timely” 
notice of appeal. (Doc. 45 at 2). 
 Based on this Court’s March 26, 2026, Memorandum and Order, (Doc. 39), 
Plaintiff’s failure to file an amended complaint, and Plaintiff’s request in his 
Motion for Reconsideration that the Court dismiss the case with prejudice, (Doc. 
45), the Court will dismiss Plaintiff’s Complaint (Doc. 1) with prejudice.  
CONCLUSION 
 Plaintiff’s Complaint is DISMISSED with prejudice. 
Dated this 1st day of June, 2026.
