ORDER TO PLAINTIFF TO FILE

OPENING BRIEF OR SHOW CAUSE

WHY SANCTIONS, INCLUDING THE

SANCTION OF DISMISSAL, SHOULD

NOT BE IMPOSED FOR FAILURE TO

COMPLY WITH SCHEDULING ORDER

On August 26,2009, the Court issued its Scheduling Order outlining when the briefs in

this matter would be filed. (Doc. 7) The scheduling order explains that the failure to comply with

its provisions may result in sanctions pursuant to Local Rule 110. (Doc. 7 at 4.)

According to the Scheduling Order, Plaintiff’s brief was due no later than 95 days after

the filing of the administrative record. (Doc. 7 at 2) The administrative record was filed on

January 8, 2010 (Doc. 12), making Plaintiff’s brief due no later than April 13, 2010. However,

Plaintiff has failed to file a brief or seek an extension of time in which to do so.

Therefore, Plaintiff shall have until August 13, 2010 to file an Opening Brief or show

cause why sanctions, up to and including dismissal of the action, should not be imposed. 

Plaintiff is forewarned that his failure to comply with this Order will result in dismissal of this

action pursuant to the inherent power of the Court or the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Fed.

R. Civ. P. 41(b), 11; Local Rule 110; Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 31, 42-43 (1991).
