Alexandria Young v. Commissioner of Social Security
Present: The Honorable: Steve Kim, United States Magistrate Judge
CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Plaintiff's opening brief in support of her appeal from administrative denial of Social Security benefits was due February 22, 2024. See Rule 6 of SUPPLEMENTAL RULES FOR SOCIAL SECURITY ACTIONS UNDER 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). Plaintiff is thus ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE why her appeal should not be dismissed for lack of prosecution and noncompliance with court orders. She may discharge this order by filing her opening brief under Rule 6 no later than April 8, 2024, in which case the Commissioner's reply brief will be due thereafter according to Rule 7. But if Plaintiff fails to file her opening brief on time or otherwise fails to timely respond to this order by April 8, 2024, this action may be involuntarily dismissed with no further warning.
Because Plaintiff is proceeding pro se, she is reminded that she may hire her own counsel according to the information provided by the Social Security Administration when her application for benefits was finally denied by the Administration. Alternatively, Plaintiff may obtain pro bono legal services from one of the court's Pro Se Clinics at the locations listed below:
