On May 12, 2009, Defendant lodged the administrative record. Pursuant to the Scheduling

Order and the parties’ subsequent stipulations to extend time, Plaintiff was required to file her brief on

or before December 14, 2009. On November 12, 2009, in granting the parties’ third stipulation for an

extension of time, the Court warned Plaintiff that further extensions of time would be granted only

upon a showing of good cause. Plaintiff has failed to file a brief. 

Therefore, Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, if any she has, why the action should

not be dismissed for failure to comply with the Court’s orders. Plaintiff is ORDERED to file a

written response to this Order to Show Cause within twenty (20) days of the date of this Order. 

Failure to respond to this Order to Show Cause will result in dismissal of this action. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
