UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARIA CARMEN REYES,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL 

SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No.: 1:15-cv-01436-SAB

ORDER REQUIRING DEFENDANT TO SHOW 

CAUSE WHY PLAINTIFF’S SOCIAL 

SECURITY APPEAL SHOULD NOT BE 

DEEMED UNOPPOSED OR FILE AN 

OPPOSITION

TEN-DAY DEADLINE

On May 25, 2016, an order issued granting the parties stipulation to extend time for 

Defendant to file an opposition to Plaintiff’s brief in support of remand. Pursuant to the 

stipulation, Defendant’s opposition was to be filed on or before June 27, 2016. (ECF No. 12.) 

Defendant has not filed an opposition brief. 

Local Rule 110 provides that “[f]ailure of counsel or of a party to comply with these Rules 

or with any order of the Court may be grounds for imposition by the Court of any and all 

sanctions . . . within the inherent power of the Court.” The Court has the inherent power to 

control its docket and may, in the exercise of that power, impose sanctions where appropriate, 

including dismissal of the action. Bautista v. Los Angeles County, 216 F.3d 837, 841 (9th Cir. 

2000).
