Commissioner of Social Security’s decision denying Plaintiff’s claim for disability 

benefits. (Doc. 1). Pursuant to the Court’s Scheduling Order issued January 21, 2015 

(Doc. 11), Plaintiff was required to file his Opening Brief within 60 days after Defendant 

filed the Answer. Defendant filed the Answer on September 14, 2015, thus Plaintiff was 

required to file his Opening Brief by November 13, 2015. 

On April 7, 2016 this Court issued an Order to Show Cause (Doc. 26) requiring 

Plaintiff to file his opening brief on or before Friday, April 22, 2016, or show cause in 

writing on or before April 22, 2016 why this lawsuit should not be dismissed for failure 

to prosecute and failure to comply with the Court’s prior orders. Plaintiff has not filed his 

Opening Brief or otherwise responded to the Order to Show Cause, nor has Plaintiff filed 

any other document in this matter. 

Accordingly,
