United States District Court

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LESTER B. PRATT,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL 

SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 18-cv-01192-HSG 

ORDER DISCHARGING ORDER TO 

SHOW CAUSE AND SETTING 

BRIEFING SCHEDULE

Re: Dkt. Nos. 8, 10

On May 10, 2019 the Court ordered Plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, to show cause why 

this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Dkt. No. 8. Plaintiff filed his response, 

explaining that although he received a box in June 2018 that he knew “contained records and 

transcripts that are required to be sent as part of the civil case,” he did not “remove the files,” and 

therefore did not know Defendant responded until Plaintiff received the Court’s order to show 

cause. Dkt. No. 10.

Although the Court fails to understand why Plaintiff would not review files he knew were 

pertinent to his case, in light of Plaintiff’s explanation that he still wishes to continue prosecuting 

this case and the fact that Plaintiff is proceeding pro se, the Court DISCHARGES the order to 

show cause. The Court directs Plaintiff to strictly comply with all future deadlines and to 

carefully review all filings in this case.
