Duncan v. Slattery8/21/2001
flects that Duncan did not actively pursue his case from the beginning. Duncan filed his complaint June 18, 1998. He attended an arbitration hearing on March 18, 1999 and did nothing else. Duncan did not pursue his own motions and did not respond to Slattery's motions. There were numerous discovery requests, including a request for admissions, that were never answered by Duncan.
13) The authority to dismiss a plaintiff's action for failure to prosecute is clear. It is an inherent power of the trial court arising from the control necessarily vested in the court to manage its own affairs and to achieve the orderly and expeditious disposition of its own business. The record supports the Superior Court's decision to dismiss Duncan's claim for failure to prosecute.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the judgment of the Superior Court is AFFIRMED.
