SHEILA HAYFORD, Plaintiff, v. DART and DELAWARE TRANSIT CORPORATION, Defendants.
Sheila Hayford, Pro se. Douglas T. Walsh, Esquire, Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin, Wilmington, Delaware for Defendants.
Upon Consideration of Plaintiff's Motion to Dismiss
GRANTED
ORDER
Sheila Hayford, Pro se. Douglas T. Walsh, Esquire, Marshall, Dennehey, Warner, Coleman & Goggin, Wilmington, Delaware for Defendants. Young, J.
DECISION
Sheila Hayford ("Plaintiff"), appearing pro se, filed an action sounding in negligence against DART and Delaware Transit Corporation ("Defendants"), on January 27, 2014. Plaintiff alleges she was injured, while a passenger on a bus operated by Defendants.
Since the filing of her Complaint, there has been minimal effort on her part made toward the prosecution of this suit. Indeed, the Court has granted several deadline extensions, in an attempt to accommodate Plaintiff. Most recently, the Court permitted the Plaintiff's belated filing of expert disclosures, in the face of a summary judgment motion by Defendants.
At this time, when discovery has come to a close, and the October 2015 trial date draws near, Plaintiff moves to dismiss her suit without prejudice. Finding no particular prejudice to Defendants, the Court GRANTS Plaintiff's motion.
Plaintiff's suit is DISMISSED without prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
