The Court's orders setting the telephonic hearing scheduled for 6/3/2025 were mailed to Plaintiff at his address on the docket [37] [40]. The Court’s mailings were not returned as undeliverable. This Court set the matter over for a telephonic hearing on 6/24/2025 and warned Plaintiff that his failure to appear may result in a report and recommendation that this case be dismissed for want of prosecution. The Court’s order was mailed to Plaintiff at his address on the docket [41][42] and the mailing was not returned as undeliverable. Nevertheless, Plaintiff failed to appear on 6/24/2025 and has not notified the Court or defense counsel of any reason why he was unable to appear. Therefore, it is this Court’s report and recommendation that the case be dismissed for want of prosecution pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). Any objection to this report and recommendation must be filed by 7/8/2025. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b). The failure to file a timely objection may result in the waiver of objections on appeal.
