UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VELEDA G. BURTON,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-03574-VC 

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS 

CASE SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED

Re: Dkt. Nos. 5, 12, 15

The plaintiff's motion for summary judgment or remand was due within thirty days of 

service of the defendant's answer. Dkt. No. 5 at 1. The defendant's answer was served on 

November 23, 2015. Dkt. No. 12 at 4; see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(b)(2)(C). Additionally, the 

defendant lodged the administrative record in this court on December 3, 2015. Dkt. No. 15. But 

the plaintiff still has not yet filed a motion for summary judgment, a motion to remand, or a 

motion to extend the time in which to file either of those two motions. 

Accordingly, Veleda Burton is ordered to show cause why this case should not be 

dismissed for failure to prosecute. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); Carey v. King, 856 F.2d 1439, 1440 

(9th Cir. 1988). Ms. Burton should respond to this order by filing a letter, no longer than two 

pages, explaining why she has not yet filed a motion for summary judgment (or a motion to 

remand) in this case. She must file this letter by Friday, January 22, 2015.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 13, 2016
