CHARLESTON DIVISION
JOYCE MAYTON CRAMER,
Plaintiff,
v.
Civil Action No. 2:14-cv-16227
ETHICON, INC., et al.,
Defendants.
MEMORANADUM OPINION AND ORDER
On December 2, 2020, I entered an order directing plaintiff to show cause on or before
January 2, 2021, why this case should not be dismissed as to Ethicon, Inc. and Johnson & Johnson
for failure to prosecute pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Rule
41.1 of the Local Rules of Civil Procedure.
Plaintiff has not responded to the Shown Cause Order. The court ORDERS, pursuant to
Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Rule 41.1 of the Local Rules of Civil
Procedure and after weighing the factors identified in Ballard v. Carlson, 882 F.2d 93, 95 (4th Cir.
1989), that Ethicon, Inc. and Johnson & Johnson are dismissed without prejudice. No defendants
remain, and the court DIRECTS the Clerk to dismiss the case and strike it from the active docket.
The court DIRECTS the Clerk to send a copy of this Order to counsel of record and any
unrepresented party.
