The defendants brought motions to dismiss the plaintiff's action for delay and for failure to comply with multiple court orders requiring her to answer undertakings given at her examination for discovery.
The plaintiff, a self-represented litigant, had failed to answer undertakings for nearly five years and breached several 'last chance' orders.
The court found the delay to be inordinate, inexcusable, and prejudicial to the defendants.
The court also found that the plaintiff's repeated failure to comply with interlocutory orders warranted dismissal.
The action was dismissed.
