IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CLYDE GRAY,

Plaintiff,

 v.

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of

Social Security

Defendant /

No. C 12-4014 MMC

ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFF TO

SHOW CAUSE WHY ACTION SHOULD

NOT BE DISMISSED FOR FAILURE TO

PROSECUTE

In the above-titled action, plaintiff Clyde Gray seeks judicial review of a decision of

the Social Security Administration. By order filed July 31, 2012, plaintiff was directed to file

a motion for summary judgment or for remand within 28 days of the service of defendant’s

answer. (See Procedural Order for Social Security Review Actions.) On November 13,

2012, defendant filed and served on plaintiff an answer to plaintiff’s complaint. To date,

plaintiff has not filed a motion for summary judgment or for remand.

Accordingly, the Court hereby DIRECTS plaintiff to show cause in writing, no later

than January 22, 2013, why the instant action should not be dismissed for failure to

prosecute, pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. To show good

cause, plaintiff must file his motion for summary judgment or remand, along with a separate

statement explaining why such motion was not filed within the time required by the Court’s

prior order.
