N.D.N.Y. L.R. 41.2
Dismissal of Actions
(a) Whenever it appears that the plaintiff has failed to prosecute an action or
proceeding diligently, the assigned judge may order it dismissed. In the absence of an order by
the assigned judge or magistrate judge setting any date for any pretrial proceeding or for trial, the
plaintiff’s failure to take action for four (4) months shall be presumptive evidence of lack of
prosecution. Nothing in this Rule shall preclude any party from filing a motion to dismiss an
action or proceeding for failure to prosecute under Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
(b) Failure to notify the Court of a change of address by counsel or pro se litigant
within 14 days of a change in accordance with L.R. 10.1(c)(2) may result in the dismissal of any
pending action.
