UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

VINCENT STERLING HARRINGTON

Plaintiff,

v. Civil Action No. 24-3478 (TJK)

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendant.

MEMORANDUM

On January 31, 2025, Defendant filed a motion to dismiss. Two days later, the Court en-

tered a Fox Order ordering Plaintiff to respond by February 17, 2025, and if not, advising him that

the Court may treat Defendant’s motion as conceded and dismiss the case. A copy of that order

was sent to Plaintiff’s address of record. Over two months past that deadline, Plaintiff has not

opposed the motion or requested additional time to do so. Moreover, Plaintiff has filed nothing

on the docket since the case was removed in December 2024. Thus, pursuant to Local Rule 83.23

and the Court’s “inherent power to dismiss a case sua sponte for a plaintiff’s failure to prosecute

or otherwise comply with a court order,” Peterson v. Archstone Communities LLC,

(D.C. Cir. 2011), the Court will dismiss the case without prejudice. A separate order will

issue.
