ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On December 22, 2009, Plaintiff filed the present action in this Court. Plaintiff seeks

review of the Commissioner’s denial of his application for benefits. (Doc. 1.)

On December 28, 2009, the Court issued its Scheduling Order. The Order provides that

within 120 days after service of the complaint, Defendant shall file and serve a copy of the

administrative record which shall be deemed an answer to the complaint. The Order also

provides that within 30 days after service of the administrative record, Plaintiff shall serve on

Defendant a letter brief outlining why remand is warranted which Defendant shall respond to

within 35 days. Thereafter, if Defendant does not stipulate to remand, within 30 days of

Defendant’s response, Plaintiff must file and serve an opening brief. (Doc. 9.)

On May 11, 2010, Defendant lodged the administrative record. (Doc. 13.) Thus,

pursuant to the Scheduling Order, Plaintiff was required to file his opening brief in this Court on

or before August 16, 2010. To date, Plaintiff has not filed an opening brief. 1

Therefore, Plaintiff is ordered to show cause why the action should not be dismissed for

failure to comply with the Court’s December 28, 2009, order. Plaintiff is ORDERED to file a

written response to this Order to Show Cause WITHIN ten (10) days of the date of this Order. If

Plaintiff desires more time to file the brief, Plaintiff should so state in his response.

Failure to respond to this Order to Show Cause within the time specified will result in

dismissal of this action. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

5/11/10 + 120 = 8/14/10. Because August 14, 2010, was a Saturday, the opening brief 1

was due Monday, August 16, 2010.
