certifying that the briefs were served. (Doc. 5, ¶¶ 3, 4.) Plaintiff did not file a proof of service, 

but Defendant filed a proof of service showing that her confidential letter brief was served on 

Plaintiff on August 15, 2014.

Under the deadlines set forth in the Scheduling Order, Plaintiff was required to file her 

opening brief within 30 days if there was no agreement to remand the case to the agency. (Doc. 5, 

¶¶ 5, 6.) As no stipulation to remand has been filed, Plaintiff's opening brief was due on or before 

September 17, 2014. No opening brief was filed.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

1. By no later than October 3, 2014, Plaintiff shall:

a. File an opening brief; or

b. Show cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure to comply 

with the scheduling order and failure to prosecute; and

2. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this order, this case will be dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
