ORDER

On November 2, 2019 I issued an Order directing Plaintiff to seek a default judgment against 94 Corner Café Corp., in accordance with Rule 4(H) of my Individual Rules and Practices in Civil Cases, on or before November 27, 2019. Plaintiff has failed to do so. Accordingly it is:

ORDERED that corporate Defendant 94 Corner Café Corp. is dismissed from this action, without prejudice, for Plaintiff's failure to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). See Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 632 (1962) ("The authority of a court to dismiss sua sponte for lack of prosecution has generally been considered an inherent power. . . necessarily vested in courts to manage their own affairs so as to achieve the orderly and expeditious disposition of cases." (internal quotation marks omitted)); LeSane v. Hall's Sec. Analyst, Inc., 239 F.3d 206, 209 (2d Cir. 2001) ("Although the text of Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b) expressly addresses only the case in which a defendant moves for dismissal of an action, it is unquestioned that Rule 41(b) also gives the district court authority to dismiss a plaintiff's case sua sponte for failure to prosecute.").

The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to mail a copy of this Order to the pro se Defendants.

SO ORDERED.
