1 Judge Mehalchick’s reasoning and conclusion that Plaintiff has failed to prosecute and has abandoned this action is further supported by Plaintiff's failure to file any Objections to the pending R&R. The Court also agrees with the R&R’s findings that an application of the Poulis factors supports the dismissal of this action. See Doc. 9, at 4-9; Poulis v. State Farm Fire and Cas. Co.,

(3d Cir. 1984), .
