[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Designation] [Court Name] [Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Re: Motion to Dismiss for Want of Prosecution Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing this letter to submit a Motion to Dismiss for Want of Prosecution pertaining to the case [Case Name] filed in [Court Name]. I bring this motion under the authority of South Carolina Rules of Civil Procedure, specifically Rule 41(b), which states that if the plaintiff fails to proceed with due diligence in prosecuting the case, the court may dismiss the case upon a motion from the defendant. The reasons for my motion are as follows: 1. Lack of Activity: Since the initiation of the case on [Initiation Date], there has been a lack of activity from the plaintiff's side. Despite numerous attempts from my counsel to facilitate the progress of this case, the plaintiff has failed to show any substantial effort to proceed with the necessary steps for a fair and timely resolution. 2. Failure to Comply with Deadlines: The plaintiff has failed to meet critical deadlines set by the court. The non-compliance includes missing the deadline for filing essential documents, failure to respond to discovery requests, and neglecting to attend scheduled hearings. 3. Prejudice to the Defendant: The plaintiff's lack of prosecution has caused significant prejudice to the defendant. This prolonged inaction has resulted in unnecessary costs, stress, and disruption of the defendant's life and business affairs. Such prejudice is unacceptable and warrants the dismissal of the case. In light of the aforementioned facts, it is clear that the plaintiff has shown a lack of interest or intent to prosecute this case diligently. Their non-compliance with court deadlines and failure to engage in necessary legal actions have caused unnecessary delays and hardship for the defendant. Therefore, I request the court to exercise its discretion and dismiss this case for want of prosecution. Enclosed with this letter, please find supporting documents such as correspondence, relevant case law, and any other pertinent material that reinforce my motion. I kindly request the court to review these documents in conjunction with the motion. Your prompt attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. I am hopeful that the court will acknowledge the merits of this motion and take appropriate action to bring an end to this protracted litigation. If you require any additional information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Phone Number] or via email at [Email Address]. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, [Your Name]
