MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

On July 10, 2019, I granted a motion to show cause filed by C. R. Bard, Inc. ("Bard"). [ECF No. 17]. Bard asserted in the motion that plaintiff's case should be dismissed with prejudice for failure to comply with court orders, including the failure to timely provide the defendant with required pretrial discovery in violation of Pretrial Order Numbers 275 and 283. Plaintiff, who is pro se, has not responded to the above motion.

The court entered the Show Cause Order on July 10, 2019, directing plaintiff to show cause on or before July 24, 2019, why Bard should not be dismissed. [ECF No. 17]. The court sent a copy of this order to plaintiff at her last known address and posted it on the court's public website. Plaintiff did not show cause or otherwise respond.

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), that this case should be dismissed without prejudice for plaintiff's failure to respond to the show cause order and otherwise comply with discovery deadlines in compliance with the court's previous pretrial and other orders.

Therefore, the court ORDERS that Bard is dismissed without prejudice. No other defendants remain and this case is stricken from the docket and closed.

The court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this order to counsel of record and plaintiff at her last known address.
