BRUCE G. ROSS,

Plaintiff,

 v.

Social Security

Defendant /

No. C 05-4870 MMC

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

In this action, plaintiff seeks judicial review of a decision of the Social Security

Administration. By order filed November 29, 2005, plaintiff was directed to file a motion for

summary judgment or for remand within 30 days of the service of defendant’s answer. (See

Procedural Order for Social Security Review Actions.) On February 27, 2006, defendant

filed an answer to plaintiff’s complaint. To date, plaintiff has not filed a motion for summary

judgment or for remand.

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS PLAINTIFF TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing,

no later than April 28, 2006, why the instant action should not be dismissed for failure to

prosecute, pursuant to Rule 41(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. To show good

cause, plaintiff must file his motion for summary judgment or remand, along with a

declaration explaining why such motion was not filed within the time required by the Court’s

prior order.
