HOWARD M. CLARK, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
ORDER
Plaintiff, who is proceeding without counsel, brings this action for judicial review of a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).
On November 14, 2012, the court granted plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. That order required plaintiff to submit to the United States Marshal, within 15 days of the date of service of the order, a completed summons and copies of the complaint, and file a statement with the court that said documents have been submitted. Plaintiff was warned that failure to comply may result in dismissal of this action for lack of prosecution and failure to comply with court rules and orders. See Local Rule 110. More than 15 days have elapsed and plaintiff has not complied with the order by filing a statement informing the court that the necessary documents were submitted to the United State Marshal for service.
Plaintiff shall show cause, in writing, within 30 days of the date of this order, why this action should not be dismissed for failure to submit service documents to the United States Marshall. Plaintiff is again warned that failure to respond to this order may result in dismissal of the action for the reasons outlined above, as well as for failure to prosecute and comply with court rules and orders. See id.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
