Civil Procedure
In one sentence

In Teman v. Does 1-10, Judge Carter dismissed the case without prejudice because Teman failed to prosecute it.

Who this affects

The dismissal affected Ari Teman's action against Does 1-10, Granicus, Inc., and T-Mobile USA, Inc. The case was dismissed without prejudice, and the opinion did not decide the underlying claims.

What happened

Teman v. Does 1-10 involved Ari Teman as the plaintiff and Does 1-10, Granicus, Inc., and T-Mobile USA, Inc. as defendants.

The court ordered Teman to explain by October 27, 2023 why the case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Teman did not make that required showing.

Judge Andrew L. Carter, Jr. dismissed the case without prejudice under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for failure to prosecute.
