"Failure to prosecute" basically means that a plaintiff has failed proceed to trial with "due diligence." Rule 41(b) "allows dismissal for the plaintiff's failure to prosecute, [and] is intended as a safeguard against delay in litigation." 9 Wright & Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure: Civil 3d § 2370. Dismissals under 41(b) operate as an "adjudication on the merits," thus precluding further claims on the same facts and law. Furthermore, the court can issue a dismissal for failure to prosecute sua sponte. Link v. Wabach Railroad, 370 U.S. 626. Also, the court can choose to levy fines as a less harsh alternative to dismissal. Cleminshaw Co. v. City of Norwhich, 93 F.R.D. 338.
A failure to prosecute a criminal case can lead to the perpetrator not facing consequences for their actions, potentially allowing them to commit more crimes. It can also undermine public trust in the justice system and may result in a lack of closure for the victims.
