Description
Randall Dean Carver, proceeding pro se, instituted this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging that defendants Bobby and Betty Bunch violated his federally protected rights by denying him personal hygiene items for a period of two weeks while he was an inmate at the Warren County Jail, Bowling Green, Kentucky. Carver also alleges that defendants denied him reasonable access to the courts by denying him stamps, envelopes, writing material, "legal material," and an opportunity to call his attorney. In addition, Carver alleges that he was the target of a death threat by Bobby Bunch. On November 16, 1990, the district court dismissed Carver's complaint solely because he failed to respond to the defendant's motion to dismiss in violation of Local Rule 6(b)(1)(A) of the Joint Local Rules for the United States District Courts of the Eastern and Western Districts of Kentucky. Because we find that the district court abused its discretion in dismissing Carver's complaint, we reverse.
