OPINION OF THE COURT
HIGGINBOTHAM, District - Judge.
We are asked to decide whether the District Court abused its discretion in dismissing plaintiff-appellant’s case with prejudice under a Local Rule which provides for dismissal of cases in which, without good reason, no action has been taken for a period of one year. 1 We conclude that the District Court did not abuse its discretion. We do so fully mindful that appellant’s claim might ultimately have had some substantial merit.
