ORDER

GREGORY H. WOODS, United States District Judge:
The Court ordered that an initial conference be held in this matter on December 2, 2014.
Only defendant appeared at the conference; plaintiff did not appear. On December 4, 2014, the
Court issued an order setting a conference for December 22, 2014, and, as a result of plaintiff’s
failure to appear at the first Court-ordered conference, specifically stated that failure to obey the
Court’s scheduling orders and to appear at the conference may result in the imposition of sanctions
pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(f), including the dismissal of this case. The
December 22, 2014 conference was held as scheduled; plaintiff again failed to appear. On
December 22, 2014, the Court ordered plaintiff to show cause by December 29, 2014 why this
action should not be dismissed pursuant to Rule 16(f). To date, plaintiff has not responded to the
Court’s order to show cause. Accordingly, this action is hereby dismissed without prejudice
pursuant to Rule 16(f) for plaintiff’s repeated failure to obey the Court’s orders and to appear at the
Court’s scheduled conferences in this matter.
Defendant is directed to serve a copy of this order on plaintiff and to file proof of service
with the Court.

The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close this case.
SO ORDERED.
Dated: December 31, 2014
New York, New York
