UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION
DONALD J. NEWTON,
Plaintiff,
Case No. 25-cv-12559
v. 	Hon. Matthew F. Leitman
EARLY WARNING SERVICES, LLC,
Defendant.
__________________________________________________________________/
ORDER DISMISSING PLAINTIFF’S
COMPLAINT (ECF No. 1) WITHOUT PREJUDICE
In this action, pro se Plaintiff Donald J. Newton alleges that Defendant Early
Warning Services, LLC, violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Michigan tort
law. (See Compl., ECF No. 1.) On August 19, 2025, the Court directed Newton to
complete and submit certain documents to the Clerk of the Court so that his
Complaint could be served on Early Warning. 	(See Order, ECF No. 5.) 	Newton
failed to do so. 	Accordingly, on September 24, 2025, the Court issued a second
order in which it directed Newton, by no later than October 8, 2025, to either “(1)
present the service documents to the Clerk’s Office” or “(2) SHOW CAUSE in
writing … why this action should not be dismissed.” (Order, ECF No. 10,
PageID.94.) 	The Court then warned Newton that the “failure to comply with this
order will result in dismissal of this action.” (Id.)

2
Newton has not complied with the Court’s September 24th order. He has not
submitted service documents to the Clerk’s Office or explained to this Court why
his Complaint should not be dismissed. Nor has Newton contacted the Court to ask
for additional time to comply with the Court’s directions or provided any explanation
for his failure to comply with the Court’s orders. Thus, because Newton has failed
to comply with the Court’s August 19, 2025, and September 24, 2025, orders, the
Court DISMISSES his Complaint (ECF No. 1) WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
