IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHRISTINE J. SMITH,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-09-0709 EFB

vs.

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, ORDER

Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant. 

 /

On February 25, 2010, this court ordered plaintiff to show cause why this case should not

be dismissed and why plaintiff and/or plaintiff’s counsel should not be sanctioned as a result of

plaintiff’s failure to timely file a motion for summary judgment and/or remand. Dckt. No. 21. 

On March 26, 2010, plaintiff filed a response to the order to show cause, indicating that the

failure was inadvertent and negligent, requesting leave to file a late summary judgment motion,

and stating that opposing counsel did not oppose the late filing. Dckt. No. 22. Also, on March

29, 2010, plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment. Dckt. No. 23. In light of plaintiff’s

filings, the request for leave to file a late summary judgment motion is granted and the February

25, 2010 order to show cause is discharged. 

SO ORDERED.

DATED: April 5, 2010.
