McDonald’s Corp.,

(7th Cir. 2005) (“A district court has the authority under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) to enter a sua sponte order of dismissal for lack of prosecution.”).

The clerk of court is directed to enter judgment for defendants and close this case. Entered this 24th day of October, 2019.
