ORDER VACATING ORDER TO SHOW

CAUSE

(Document 14)

On December 22, 2009, Plaintiff filed the present action for judicial review of the denial

of Social Security benefits. On August 17, 2010, the Court issued an order to show cause why

sanctions should not be imposed for Plaintiff’s failure to file an opening brief on or before

August 16, 2010.

On August 18, 2010, the parties filed a Stipulation to Extend Briefing Schedule. It

The parties did not provide the Court with a proposed order pursuant to Local Rule 1

137(b) (“In addition to filing the proposed order electronically in .pdf format, the proposing

person must also submit by email a separate proposed order in Word or Word Perfect format to

the appropriate Judge or Magistrate Judge’s email box . . .”).

appears that a “communication error” caused a delay in response to Plaintiff’s confidential letter

brief of June 11, 2010; the response by Defendant was provided August 17, 2010, the same date

this Court issued its order to show cause. Therefore, the parties seek an extension the remaining

relevant deadlines. (Doc. 15.)

Based on the foregoing, it appears that Plaintiff’s failure to file an opening brief is

excused. Accordingly, the order to show cause is hereby DISCHARGED. The following

deadlines are HEREBY imposed:

(1) Plaintiff’s opening brief shall be filed on or before September 16, 2010;

(2) Defendant’s opposition shall be filed on or before October 18, 2010; and

(3) Plaintiff’s reply, if any, shall be filed on or before November 2, 2010.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
