Opinion
19 Civ. 10940 (AT)
07-01-2021
ORDER
ANALISA TORRES, DISTRICT JUDGE.
The Court has reviewed Plaintiffs supporting materials for default judgment at ECF Nos. 27-28, 30. The Court concludes that the materials wholly fail to comply with Attachment A to the Court's Individual Practices in Civil Cases. For example. Attachment A requires an “affidavit or declaration signed by a party with personal knowledge
” (emphasis added). Plaintiff submitted an affidavit signed by his attorney, who is not a party with personal knowledge. ECF No. 28.
Accordingly, by July 7, 2021, Plaintiff shall re-submit materials for default judgment in accordance with Attachment A to the Court's Individual Practices.
Plaintiff is reminded that, under Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, an action may be dismissed “[i]f the plaintiff fails to prosecute or to comply with [the Federal Rules] or a court order” and that “[d]isnrissal is warranted where there is a lack of due diligence in the prosecution of the lawsuit by [the] plaintiff.” West v. City of New York, 130 F.R.D. 522, 524 (S.D.N.Y. 1990). This is the Court's third warning that Plaintiffs lack of due diligence will result in dismissal of this action. ECF Nos. 22, 24.
SO ORDERED.
