JOSEPH R. GOODWIN, District Judge.
By Order entered June 3, 2019, the court ordered plaintiff Arthur Jones to show cause by June 17, 2019, why his case should not be dismissed with prejudice. [ECF NO. 21]. Mr. Jones has not responded to the show cause order.
The court finds, pursuant to Rules 16 and 37 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and after weighing the factors identified in Wilson v. Volkswagen of Am., Inc., 561 F.2d 494, 503-06 (4th Cir. 1977), plaintiff Arthur Jones should be dismissed with prejudice for failure to comply with the court's show cause and other orders. In addition to the show cause order, Mr. Jones has not met deadlines in the court's scheduling order at ECF No. 51. Accordingly, the court ORDERS that Mr. Jones is dismissed from this case with prejudice. Plaintiff Edith Jones remains as a plaintiff, though counsel has indicated that her claim will be dismissed by the parties.
The court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Order to Mr. Jones by regular and certified mail. In addition, the Clerk is DIRECTED to provide a copy of this Order to plaintiff, Mrs. Jones, and the defendants.
