Description

BAUER, Circuit Judge. This case stems from a civil rights complaint which had languished in the district court for over seven years due, for the most part to the pretrial delays of the plaintiff, Anthony Johnson. After Johnson failed to appear in court on the first day of trial, the district court finally put an end to the delay, dismissing the case with prejudice for failure to prosecute. Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b). Johnson appeals the decision to dismiss. We affirm. On June 2, 1986, Johnson, then a prisoner at the Menard Correctional Center, filed a civil rights lawsuit against various officials of the Illinois Department of Corrections alleging that the defendants had physically assaulted him. Nearly one year later, on May 29, 1987, the defendants moved for summary judgment. When Johnson failed to reply by October, the district court ordered that Johnson show cause why the motion should not be granted. On November 2, 1987, in response to the order, Johnson's appointed counsel, Richard Erdmann, informed the court of his intent to file an amended complaint within twentyone days.
