Case No.: C 09-03471 PSG

ORDER DISSOLVING JANUARY 4,

2011 ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

[Docket No. 19]

The court ordered Defendant Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner of Social Security, to respond

in writing no later than January 18, 2011 to an order to show cause why default should not be

entered. See Order to Show Cause dated January 4, 2011. (“January 4, 2011 Order to Show

Cause”). (Docket No. 19). Mr. Astrue failed to file a responsive pleading after the court denied his

motion to dismiss on November 2, 2010. On January 4, 2011, Mr. Astrue filed a response to the

order to show cause. He states that a request was made for the Office of Disability and Review

(ODAR) to provide a certified copy of the transcript to file with an answer after the court’s ruling. 

See Civ. L.R. 16-5 (answer must be filed with a certified copy of the transcript of the administrative

record); Procedural Order for Social Security Review Actions. However, a certified copy of the

transcript was not sent until December. Additionally, Mr. Astrue’s counsel was on leave during

much of that month and did not learn that the certified transcript had been sent until the court issued

the January 4, 2011 Order to Show Cause.
