BRENDA A. HARRIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN COLVIN,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-02694-JCS 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY CASE 

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR 

FAILURE TO PROSECUTE

Plaintiff Brenda Harris, pro se, filed this action on June 16, 2015 appealing the 

determination of the onset date of Harris’s disability by Defendant Carolyn Colvin, Acting 

Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (the “Commissioner”). After receiving two 

extensions of time from the Court, the Commissioner filed her answer on November 25, 2015 and 

served it on Harris via certified mail. See dkt. 18.

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 16-5, Harris was required to file a motion for summary 

judgment no later than 28 days after receipt of the Commissioner’s answer. No motion has been 

filed to date. Accordingly, Harris is hereby ORDERED to show cause why the case should not be 

dismissed for failure to prosecute, by filing a response to this Order no later than April 29, 2016. 

Harris’s response must include either her motion for summary judgment or a request for an 

extension with an explanation of why additional time is needed. If Harris fails to file a response, 

the case will be dismissed.

Harris, who is not represented by counsel, is encouraged to consult with the Federal Pro 

Bono Project’s Legal Help Center in either of the Oakland or San Francisco federal courthouses 

for assistance. The San Francisco Legal Help Center office is located in Room 2796 on the 15th
