UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff Ruth Gonzalez, proceeding without counsel, appealed defendant’s decision 

denying her application for Social Security benefits by filing a complaint before this court on July 

26, 2018. ECF No. 1. On February 10, 2020, we issued a second order to show cause why this 

case should not be dismissed because plaintiff had failed to comply with a court-ordered deadline. 

ECF No. 14. On March 4, 2020, plaintiff responded that she would be prepared to file a motion 

for summary judgment within thirty days. ECF No. 15. Plaintiff appears to have had some 

difficulty serving documents on defendants. See id. We are satisfied that plaintiff’s explanation 

warrants discharge of the order to show cause. 

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that:

1. The order to show cause issued on February 10, 2020, ECF No. 14, is discharged. 

RUTH GONZALEZ,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL 

SECURITY,
