Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
VINCENT STERLING HARRINGTON
Plaintiff,
v. Civil Action No. 24-3333 (TJK)
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Defendant.
MEMORANDUM
On December 23, 2024, Defendant filed a motion to dismiss. The next day, the Court
entered a Fox Order ordering Plaintiff to respond by January 7, 2025, and if not, advising him that
the Court may treat Defendant’s motion as conceded and dismiss the case. A copy of that order
was sent to Plaintiff’s address of record. Over two months past that deadline, Plaintiff has not
opposed the motion or requested additional time to do so. Moreover, Plaintiff has filed nothing
on the docket since the case was removed in November 2024. Thus, pursuant to Local Rule 83.23
and the Court’s “inherent power to dismiss a case sua sponte for a plaintiff’s failure to prosecute
or otherwise comply with a court order,” Peterson v. Archstone Communities LLC, 637 F.3d 416,
418 (D.C. Cir. 2011), the Court will dismiss the case without prejudice. A separate order will
issue.
