UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LISA BARICEVIC,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL 

SECURITY,

Defendant.

No. 2:15-cv-1541-KJN

ORDER

On March 14, 2016, the court issued an order directing the Commissioner’s counsel to 

show cause why he should not be sanctioned based on his failure to file a timely cross-motion for 

summary judgment. (ECF No. 18.) Thereafter, the Commissioner filed its cross-motion for 

summary judgment as well as a timely response to the order to show cause. (ECF Nos. 21, 22.) 

In that response, the Commissioner’s counsel apologized to the court, accepted responsibility for 

his omission, and indicated that he has taken several steps to improve his calendaring practices.

The court appreciates counsel’s candor, and in light of that response, discharges the order 

to show cause. However, counsel is cautioned that future failure to comply with court orders and 

deadlines will result in the imposition of sanctions.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that:

1. The order to show cause (ECF No. 18) is DISCHARGED.
