Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit

1Opinion of the Court
ORDER
George Jenkins sued two police officers and the City of Chicago under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and various Illinois statutes, alleging false arrest, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution, denial of medical care, and conspiracy. After Jenkins missed a status hearing and twice refused to sit for a deposition, despite warnings that he must, the district court dismissed the suit for failure to prosecute. Jenkins appeals, contending that the dismissal was an abuse of discretion. We affirm because the district court reasonably concluded that Jenkins’s conduct justified the dismissal.
