Norman Cheed Cooke v. Kilolo Kijakazi
Present: Honorable MARIA A. AUDERO, United States Magistrate Judge.
CIVIL MINUTES - GENERAL
Proceedings (In Chambers): Order to Show Cause Re: Dismissal for Lack of Prosecution
On March 17, 2020, the Court issued an Initial Case Management Order Regarding Procedures in Social Security Appeals with a Pro Se Litigant (“Order”). (Order, ECF No. 6.) Among other deadlines, the Order required Plaintiff to file a motion for disposition of claim for relief (“Motion”) no later than thirty-five days after the filing of the answer. (Id. § VIII.A.) The answer was filed on July 29, 2021. (ECF No. 14.) Thus, Plaintiff's Motion was due on September 2, 2021.
To date, Plaintiff has not filed a Motion. Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE by February 14, 2022 why the Court should not recommend that the lawsuit be dismissed for failure to prosecute and comply with a Court order. If Plaintiff files a Motion on or before that date, the Order to Show Cause will be discharged, and no additional action need be taken.
Plaintiff is cautioned that failure to respond to this Order may result in dismissal of the Complaint without prejudice for failure to prosecute and/or failure to comply with a court order pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b). See C.D. Cal. L.R. 41-1.
It is so ordered.
