PRINCESS CAT-EL, Plaintiff, v. LABORATORY CORPORATION OF AMERICA HOLDINGS d/b/a LABCORP, Defendant.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
JIA M. COBB UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On October 21, 2024, the Court gave Plaintiff Princess Cat-El, appearing pro se, until November 21, 2024, to respond to Defendant Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings d/b/a LABCORP's motion to dismiss or risk dismissal of her case. See ECF 6. To date, however, Cat-El has neither complied with the Court's October 21 order nor requested additional time to comply. Indeed, the Court has had no word from Cat-El since her case was removed to this Court on October 7, 2024. See ECF 1. District courts “have inherent power to dismiss a case sua sponte for a plaintiff's failure to prosecute or otherwise comply with a court order.” Angellino v. Royal Family Al-Saud, 688 F.3d 771, 775 (D.C. Cir. 2012) (quoting Peterson v. Archstone Cmties. LLC, 637 F.3d 416, 418 (D.C. Cir. 2011) (citing LCvR 83.23)). Accordingly, it is ORDERED that this case is DISMISSED without prejudice. A separate order accompanies this memorandum opinion.
