STEVEN JIMENEZ, Plaintiff, ~against- No. 23 Civ. 00628 (NSR) (VR) ORDER MR. LASHLEY, et al, Defendants.

NELSON S. ROMAN, United States District Judge: Pro se Plaintiff Steven Jimenez (‘Plaintiff’) commenced the instant action on or about January 20, 2023. (ECF No. 1.) On August 28, 2025, the Court ordered Plaintiff to show cause, in writing, by September 24, 2025 why this action should not be dismissed without prejudice for want of prosecution. (ECF No. 65.) The Court acknowledged that, earlier this year, Plaintiff was not receiving filings due to a clerical error concerning Plaintiff's mailing address. Notwithstanding the clerical error, Plaintiff has not attempted to communicate with the Court in over eleven months, including failing to comply with the Court’s August 28, 2025 Order, which was mailed to Plaintiff’s correct mailing address on August 29, 2025. Not only has Plaintiffs failure to prosecute this action impeded the Court’s efforts to “avoid calendar congestion and ensure an orderly and expeditious disposition of cases,” Cortez v.Suffolk Cty.
