IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DEDRA ROSS, No. CIV S-09-1742-CMK

Plaintiff, 

vs. ORDER

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL 

SECURITY,

Defendants.

 /

Plaintiff, who is proceeding with retained counsel, brings this action for judicial

review of a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). 

Pursuant to the court’s scheduling order, plaintiff is required to prosecute this action by either

seeking voluntary remand or filing a dispositive motion within 45 days from the date of service

of the administrative record by defendant. Plaintiff was warned that failure to comply may result

in dismissal of this action for lack of prosecution and failure to comply with court rules and

orders. See Local Rule 110. A review of the docket reflects that the answer and certified

administrative record were served on December 23, 2009. Plaintiff obtained three stipulations

extending her time for filing a dispositive motion, which were approved by the court. The latest

stipulation extended her time for filing a motion for summary judgment to July 14, 2010.

However, to date Plaintiff has not filed her motion for summary judgment. 

Plaintiff shall show cause in writing, within 30 days of the date of this order, why

this action should not be dismissed for failure to file a dispositive motion. The court notes that

Plaintiff has already had over five months to prepare her motion. Plaintiff is cautioned that

requests for additional time to file her motion are disfavored. Plaintiff is again warned that

failure to respond to this order may result in dismissal of the action for the reasons outlined

above, as well as for failure to prosecute and comply with court rules and orders. See id.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: July 22, 2010
