FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PA YANG, Case No. 1:07-cv-0044 OWW TAG 

Plaintiff, ORDER ADOPTING FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS TO DISMISS

vs. ACTION WITHOUT PREJUDICE FOR

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH COURT 

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, ORDERS AND TO PROSECUTE 1

Commissioner of Social Security, (Doc. 20)

 

Defendant.

 /

On January 6, 2007, Plaintiff Pa Yang (Plaintiff), through counsel, filed a complaint in this

Court seeking judicial review of a final decision by the Commissioner of Social Security denying her

application for Social Security disability benefits. (Doc. 1). The matter was referred to the

Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b) and Local Rule 72-302(c)(15). The Court issued a

scheduling order on January 9, 2007, which required that Plaintiff file her opening brief no later than

ninety-five (95) days after Defendant lodged the administrative record. (Doc. 7). On November 14,

2007, the Magistrate Judge ordered Plaintiff to show cause why she had not filed her opening brief in

light of the fact that well over 95 days had elapsed since Defendant lodged the administrative record

on June 25, 2007. (Docs. 15, 19). Plaintiff did not respond to the show cause order by the October

30, 2007, deadline. (Doc. 19; see Dkt. Report). 

On December 6, 2007, the Magistrate Judge filed Findings and Recommendations, in which

she recommended that this case be dismissed for failure to comply with the Court’s scheduling and

show cause orders, and for Plaintiff’s failure to prosecute the action. (Doc. 20). The Findings and

Recommendations were served on all parties and contained notice that any objections were to be

filed within fifteen (15) days of the date of service. (Id.). To date, no objections have been filed. 

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)(C), Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 72(b), and Local Rule 72-304, this Court has conducted a de novo review of the case.

Having carefully reviewed the entire file, the Court finds that the Findings and Recommendations

filed on December 6, 2007, are supported by the record and by the Magistrate Judge’s analysis.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Findings and Recommendations, filed December 6, 2007 (Doc. 20), are ADOPTED

IN FULL; and

2. Plaintiff Pa Yang’s Social Security action is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for

failure to comply with Court orders and to prosecute; and 

3. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to close this case.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
