MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

JOSEPH R. GOODWIN, District Judge.

Pending before the court is Defendants' Motion to Compel and in the Alternative Dismiss [ECF No. 22] filed by Coloplast Corp. ("Coloplast") and Mentor Worldwide LLC ("Mentor"). The plaintiff has not responded, and the deadline for responding has expired. Thus, this matter is ripe for my review. For the reasons stated below, the motion is GRANTED.

Defendants' Motion arises from this court's Order [ECF No. 21], entered on August 31, 2017, denying defendants' first Motion to Dismiss for failure to serve a Plaintiff Fact Sheet ("PFS") [ECF No. 14] in compliance with Pretrial Order ("PTO") # 124. In reaching this decision, I relied on Wilson v. Volkswagen of America, Inc., 561 F.2d 494 (4th Cir. 1977), in which the Fourth Circuit identified four factors that a court must consider when reviewing a motion to dismiss on the basis of noncompliance with discovery. See Order at 4-7 (applying the Wilson factors to the plaintiff's case).1 Concluding that the first three factors weighed in favor of sanctions as requested by defendants, I nevertheless declined to award the requested sanction of dismissal with prejudice because it would offend the court's duty under Wilson's fourth factor, which is to consider the effectiveness of lesser sanctions. In recognition of this duty, I gave the plaintiff a final chance to comply with the deadlines set forth in PTO # 124. I afforded her 30 days from the entry of the Order to submit to defendants a completed PFS, with the caveat that failure to do so may result in dismissal of her case with prejudice upon motion by the defendants. Despite this warning, the plaintiff has again failed to comply with this court's orders and did not provide defendants with her PFS within the 30-day period. Consequently, defendants moved to dismiss with prejudice.2

Because the less drastic sanction instituted against the plaintiff has had no effect on her compliance with and response to this court's discovery orders, which she has continued to blatantly disregard, I find that dismissing the defendants with prejudice is now appropriate. For the reasons explained in my August 31, 2017 Order, it is ORDERED that the Defendants' Motion to Compel and in the Alternative to Dismiss [ECF No. 22] is GRANTED.

Further, the court notes that dismissing the plaintiff's claims against Coloplast and Mentor leaves American Medical Systems, Inc. ("AMS") as the only remaining defendant in this case. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that this action is into the materiality of the evidence he failed to produce; (3) the need for deterrence of the particular sort of noncompliance; and (4) the effectiveness of less drastic sanctions. Mut. Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass'n v. Richards & Assocs., Inc., 872 F.2d 88, 92 (4th Cir. 1989) (citing Wilson, 561 F.2d at 503-06). TRASNFERRED to MDL 2325, the AMS MDL. The Clerk is directed to disassociate this civil action as a member case in MDL 2387 and re-associate it with MDL 2325.

The court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Order to counsel of record and to any unrepresented party.
