ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On August 4, 2009, Plaintiff filed the present action in this Court. Plaintiff seeks review of

issued a Scheduling Order. (Doc. 6). 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. (Doc. 6, ¶¶

2-8.)

On or about December 15, 2009, Defendant lodged the administrative record. (Doc. 11.) 

Thus, pursuant to the Scheduling Order, Plaintiff was required to file his opening brief in this Court

on or before March 22, 2010. To date, Plaintiff has failed to file an opening brief.

Therefore, Plaintiff is ordered to show cause why the action should not be dismissed for

failure to comply with the Court’s August 5, 2009, order. Plaintiff is ORDERED to file a written

response to this Order to Show Cause WITHIN ten (10) days of the date of this Order. If Plaintiff

desires more time to file the brief, Plaintiff 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.
