[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Position] [Name of the Court] [Court's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Re: Motion to Dismiss for Want of Prosecution Dear [Recipient's Name], I am writing to request the dismissal of the case [Case Name and Number] pending before [Name of the Court] on the grounds of want of prosecution. I represent the defendant [Defendant's Name] in this matter, and after careful review of the case, it has become apparent that the plaintiff has failed to diligently pursue the prosecution of this case. The want of prosecution refers to the failure of the plaintiff to move the case forward within a reasonable time frame, thus resulting in undue delay and prejudice to the defendant. The In Virgin Islands, there are multiple types of sample letters that can be used to file a motion to dismiss for want of prosecution, namely: 1. Initial Request for Dismissal: If the plaintiff has not shown any progress or taken any action in the case for an extended period, this type of motion can be filed to request the immediate dismissal of the case. 2. Failure to Serve: If the plaintiff has failed to properly serve the defendant with the necessary documents or failed to comply with the service requirements of the court, this type of motion can be filed. 3. Lack of Prosecution: When there has been a significant delay in the progress of the case due to the plaintiff's failure to actively pursue the litigation, a motion to dismiss for lack of prosecution can be filed. 4. Failure to Comply with Court Orders: If the plaintiff has not complied with court orders, such as non-compliance with discovery requests or failure to attend scheduled hearings, a motion to dismiss for failure to comply with court orders can be filed. Please find attached the supporting documentation, including copies of the court docket and communication records, to demonstrate the lack of prosecution in this case. The plaintiff has failed to meet their obligations and has not demonstrated any intention of moving this case forward. As a result, it is in the interest of justice to dismiss this case due to want of prosecution. I kindly request the court's prompt attention to this matter and schedule a hearing on this motion. If the court grants the motion, we would appreciate an order of dismissal for the aforementioned reasons. I am confident that the significant lack of prosecution in this case warrants its dismissal. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. I look forward to the court's favorable ruling on this motion. Should you require any further information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Phone Number] or [Email Address]. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, [Your Name]
