Viruet v. City Of New York et al Doc. 151 Case 1:16-cv-08327-JGK-KHP Document 151 Filed 07/31/20 Page 1 of 2 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK SHANET VIRUET, Plaintiff, - against - 16cv8327 (JGK) MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER CITY OF NEW YORK et al., Defendants. JOHN G. KOELTL, District Judge: The Court has received the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Parker dated May 1, 2020, that recommends that the defendants’ motions be granted in part and that the plaintiff’s action be dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Rules 37(b) and 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, but that the defendants’ request for an award of attorney’s fees and costs be denied. The Court granted four separate requests for extensions of time to file Objections to the Report and Recommendation, the most recent of which extended the time for the plaintiff to file Objections to July 13, 2020. Thus, almost three months have passed after the issuance of the Report and Recommendation and no Objections have been filed. The failure to file Objections underscores the wisdom of the Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation that this case should be dismissed with prejudice. The case cannot proceed without the active participation of the plaintiff pursuing her own case.
