____________________________________)

On April 17, 2007, Plaintiff filed the present action in this Court. Plaintiff seeks review of

the Commissioner’s denial of his application for benefits. On April 17, 2007, the Court issued a

Scheduling Order. The Scheduling Order states that within 120 days after service, Defendant shall

file and serve a copy of the administrative record which shall be deemed an answer to the complaint. 

The Order also provides that within 30 days after service of the administrative record, Plaintiff shall

serve on Defendant a letter brief outlining why remand is warranted which Defendant shall respond

to within 35 days. Thereafter, if Defendant does not stipulate to remand, within 30 days of

Defendant’s response, Plaintiff must file and serve an opening brief.

On August 22, 2007, Defendant lodged the administrative record. Subsequently, the parties

stipulated to, and this Court granted, Plaintiff’s request for an extension of time to file his

confidential letter brief to October 5, 2007. Thereafter, pursuant to the Scheduling Order and the

extension of time, Plaintiff was required to file his opening brief in this Court on or before December

10, 2007. To date, Plaintiff has failed to file his opening brief and the parties have not stipulated to

an extension of time for such filing.

Therefore, Plaintiff is ordered to show cause, if any he has, why the action should not be

dismissed for failure to comply with the April 17, 2007, Scheduling Order. Plaintiff is ORDERED

to file a written response to this Order to Show Cause WITHIN twenty (20) days of the date of this

Order. If Plaintiff desires more time to file his brief, he should so state in his response.

Failure to respond to this Order to Show Cause within the time specified will result in

dismissal of this action.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
