No. 84-3836. Summary Calendar.

756 F.2d 399 (1985)

Wayne BOUDWIN, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. GRAYSTONE INSURANCE COMPANY, LTD., et al., Defendants-Appellees.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

April 1, 1985.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Samanie & Barnes, Kenneth B. Givens, Herbert W. Barnes, Houma, La., for plaintiff-appellant.

Leach & Paysse, New Orleans, La., for defendants-appellees.

Frank J. Achary, Metairie, La., for Bill Monroe d/b/a Monroe Ins. Co.

Before REAVLEY, POLITZ and HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judges.


POLITZ, Circuit Judge:

Wayne Boudwin failed to appear at a docket call and the district court dismissed his complaint, with prejudice, for failure to prosecute. Because the record does not reflect egregious conduct and a clear record of delay, nor contain the district court's factual findings and conclusions that a lesser sanction would be insufficient, we vacate the order of dismissal and remand for reconsideration.
