UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRANK RUSSELL HARSHMAN,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00004-SAB

ORDER REQUIRING PLAINTIFF TO 

SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS ACTION 

SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED FOR 

FAILURE TO PROSECUTE 

SEVEN DAY DEADLINE

On January 2, 2015, Plaintiff filed this action challenging the final decision of the Commissioner 

denying his application for social security benefits. (ECF No. 1.) On January 6, 2015, the Court 

issued a scheduling order. (ECF No. 5). The scheduling order states that within 95 days from 

the filing of the administrative record, Plaintiff shall file an opening brief. Defendant lodged the 

Social Security administrative record on May 22, 2015. (ECF No. 8.) On August 13, 2015, the 

Court granted Plaintiff’s third request for an extension of time to file his confidential letter brief. 

(ECF No. 14.) Due to this extension of time, Plaintiff’s opening brief was due on November 23, 

2015. The time for Plaintiff to file an opening brief has passed and Plaintiff has not filed a 

timely opening brief or otherwise responded to the August 13, 2015 order.
