Guam Sample Letter for Motion to Dismiss for Want of Prosecution [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Judge's Name] [Judge's Designation] [Guam District Court] [Address] [City, State, ZIP] Re: Case No. [Case Number] Dear Judge [Judge's Last Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing as the defense representative in the aforementioned case to present a Motion to Dismiss for Want of Prosecution under Rule XXX of the Guam District Court Rules of Civil Procedure. Firstly, I would like to underscore that the plaintiff's lack of diligence and failure to move forward with the case have significantly prejudiced my client's interests. Despite an ample timeframe since the filing of the complaint on [Complaint Date], there has been an apparent absence of any substantial progress in this matter. This lack of progress is evident from the court records and the information exchanged between the parties. It is important to note that a motion to dismiss for want of prosecution can be exercised when the plaintiff fails to take essential steps to advance the case diligently. In this situation, it is evident that the plaintiff has not filed any necessary pleadings, responded to discovery requests, or taken any other relevant action to move the case towards a resolution. Furthermore, a review of the court docket reveals multiple continuances and prolonged periods of inactivity in this case. While we understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, it is the responsibility of the plaintiff and their counsel to promptly address such occurrences, which unfortunately have not been done in this case. Although we recognize the court's inherent discretion in determining whether to grant a motion to dismiss for want of prosecution, we believe the facts and circumstances of this case warrant such action. The absence of progress, lack of diligence, and continuous delays not only impede the efficient administration of justice but also cause financial and emotional hardship to my client. We humbly request that the court grant our Motion to Dismiss for Want of Prosecution, thereby putting an end to the prolonged uncertainty faced by my client due to the plaintiff's inaction. Additionally, we kindly request that the court impose necessary costs, including attorney's fees and expenses, as a way to compensate my client for the hardships endured as a result of the plaintiff's negligence. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. We trust that the court will carefully consider the facts presented in this letter and make a just decision in accordance with the principles of fairness and equity. Should you require any further documents or information, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Phone Number] or [Email Address]. Yours sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Law Firm's Name] [Your Law Firm's Address] [City, State, ZIP]
