IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

VICKY BROWN,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-09-3042 DAD PS

v.

MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, ORDER

Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant.

 /

By order filed on November 5, 2009 (Doc. No. 3), the court granted plaintiff’s

motion to proceed in forma pauperis, ordered plaintiff to forward documents to the United States

Marshal within fifteen days for service of process, and further ordered plaintiff to file with the

court thereafter a statement indicating the date on which all necessary documents were submitted

to the United States Marshal. Plaintiff did not file the required statement nor did she respond to

the court’s order in any manner. On December 7, 2009, plaintiff was ordered to show cause in

writing, within ten days, why this case should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution. Plaintiff

was advised that failure to file a timely response to the order to show cause will result in

dismissal of this action.

Sixty days have passed, and plaintiff has not responded to the court’s order to

show cause. In addition, plaintiff has now failed to comply with the court’s separate order filed

on November 5, 2009 (Doc. No. 5) requiring plaintiff to complete and return within 90 days a

form either consenting to proceed before the assigned magistrate judge or requesting assignment

to a district judge.

All orders issued in this action have been served on plaintiff by mail at her address

of record, and no mail has been returned to the court as undeliverable. More than three months

have passed since plaintiff filed the action, and plaintiff has failed to prosecute the action in any

manner, in violation of two court orders. This case cannot proceed due to plaintiff’s failure to

send documents to the United States Marshal and failure to comply with court orders. See Local

Rule 110.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this action is dismissed without

prejudice due to plaintiff’s failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court orders.

DATED: February 9, 2010.
