UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CLAUDIA GUERRERO,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY.

Defendant.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00573-SAB

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO 

SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS ACTION 

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR 

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH COURT 

ORDER

Response due: June 15, 2016

Plaintiff Claudia Guerrero filed a social security complaint on April 23, 2016. (ECF No. 

1.) On May 12, 2016, the summons and scheduling order issued. (ECF Nos. 7, 8.) Pursuant to 

the scheduling order, Plaintiff was required to effect service within twenty days and file a copy 

of the return of service. (ECF No. 8-1 at ¶ 1.) To date, no return of service has been filed with 

the Court and there is no indication that Plaintiff has served the summons or complaint. 

Local Rule 110 provides that “[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these 

Rules or with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all 

sanctions . . . within the inherent power of the Court.” The Court has the inherent power to 

control its docket and may, in the exercise of that power, impose sanctions where appropriate, 

including dismissal of the action. Bautista v. Los Angeles County, 216 F.3d 837, 841 (9th Cir. 

2000).
