March 13, 2026·1:25-CV-02676-LTB-RTG·Panel Decision·By James Taylor
The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit dismissed an appeal filed by Norvell Crump against federal prison officials. The dismissal was issued due to a lack of prosecution by the appellant.
Norvell Crump appealed a district court decision involving supervised release and prison administration. The case was originally filed in the District of Colorado.
The court’s reasoning
The court determined that the appellant failed to prosecute the appeal. Consequently, the court exercised its authority under Tenth Circuit Rule forty-two point one to dismiss the case.
What it means going forward
The dismissal ends the appellate proceedings without a decision on the merits of the underlying claims.
