UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTOPHER L. SIMMONS,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL 

SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-04435-JCS 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY 

DEFAULT SHOULD NOT BE 

ENTERED

Defendant was served with summons in this social security review action on September 

26, 2016. See dkt. 10. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 16-5 and the procedural order entered in this 

case (dkt. 4), Defendant’s answer and a certified copy of the transcript of the administrative record 

were due ninety days after service, i.e., December 27, 2016.1 That deadline has passed and 

Defendant has not yet filed an answer or the administrative record. Accordingly, Defendant is 

hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why default should not be entered, by filing a response to 

this order no later than January 18, 2017. The Court finds this matter suitable for resolution 

without oral argument and declines to set a hearing.

This order will be expunged if Defendant files (1) her answer and a certified copy of the 

administrative record; or (2) a stipulation by both parties to extend time. If Defendant cannot file 

her answer and the record or obtain a stipulation by the deadline stated above, she may file a 

response stating good cause for her failure to meet the initial ninety-day deadline and for a further 

extension of time.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 11, 2017 ______________________________________

JOSEPH C. SPERO

Chief Magistrate Judge

 

1 Ninety days from service would be December 25, but the Court was closed that day and the

following day, resulting in a deadline of December 27, 2016.
