JUDGMENT

In response to my Order to Show Cause regarding Dismissal

for Failure to Prosecute, plaintiff filed a responsive

document which I will treat as a request for a continuance to

file his motion for summary judgment as required by Civil

Local Rule 16-5 and as set forth in the Procedural Order for

Social Security Review Actions served on plaintiff. 

Plaintiff’s request for a continuance is GRANTED. Plaintiff

substantial evidence in the administrative record to support

the decision to deny payments and whether the Secretary

complied with the requirements of the Constitution, the Social

Security Act, and the administrative regulations when reaching

the decision he is seeking review of.

If plaintiff requires the assistance of counsel in filing

the motion for summary judgment, he should contact a social

security attorney immediately. There is also a possibility

that he might be able to obtain pro bono counsel by inquiring

with the Volunteer Legal Services Program of the Bar

Association of San Francisco, (415)782-9000. However,

plaintiff is warned that even if he is unable to obtain

counsel, he is required to file the motion for summary

judgment by May 5, 2008. 

The March 5, 2008 hearing on the Order to Show Cause is

HEREBY VACATED.
