ORDER
The parties filed their notice of settlement on December 3, 2018,
indicating that they would move to dismiss the case once they had finalized
their settlement documents. Doc. 22. There has been no further activity
in this case. It is therefore unclear whether the parties have resolved their
dispute, or intend to proceed with the case.
Within 14 days of the date this Order is served, the parties shall
either (1) file their stipulation of dismissal under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41, or
(2) face a recommendation of dismissal.

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b)

(authorizing district courts to dismiss an action for failure to obey a court
order); L.R. 41.1(c) (authorizing district court to dismiss for lack of

prosecution); Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 630-31 (1962) (courts
have the inherent authority to dismiss claims for lack of prosecution);
Collins v. Lake Helen, L.P., 249 F. App’x 116, 120 (11th Cir. 2007)
(“[D]istrict court[s] possesses the inherent power to police [their]
docket[s]” and to prune out those cases left to languish by their litigants).
SO ORDERED, this 10th

day of May, 2019.
