UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KAREN M. GONZALES,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL 

SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:21-cv-01008-DAD-HBK

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE TO PLAINTIFF 

OR FILE A THIRD MOTION FOR 

ENLARGEMENT OF TIME OR AN 

OPENING BRIEF

SEVEN-DAY DEADLINE

(Doc. No. 15)

This matter comes before the Court upon periodic review of the file. Plaintiff initiated this 

action through counsel on June 25, 2021. (Doc. No. 1). Plaintiff was granted leave to proceed in 

forma pauperis. (Doc. No. 3). On February 9, 2022, the court entered a text only order granting 

Plaintiff’s second unopposed motion for an enlargement of time to file an opening brief. (Doc. No. 

15). Plaintiff’s opening brief was due no later than March 21, 2022. As of the date on this Order 

Plaintiff has neither sought an additional enlargement of time nor filed an opening brief. 

Accordingly, it is ORDERED:

1. Plaintiff shall show cause within seven (7) days from the date on this Order why this 

case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute.

2. Alternatively, within seven (7) days from the date on this order, Plaintiff shall either 

seek a third extension of time to file an opening brief or file an opening brief.
