LIONEL JAMES, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Pro se plaintiff Lionel James brings this action seeking judicial review of a final decision by the Commissioner of Social Security denying him benefits. The Commissioner answered the complaint on June 22, 2011. Pursuant to this District's procedural order for social security review actions, James was required to serve and file a motion for summary judgment or remand by July 22, 2011.
As of this time, James has not submitted such motion, which suggests a lack of interest in prosecuting this case. Accordingly, James is hereby ordered to show cause in writing why this case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. His show cause response should be filed in this Court no later than December 29, 2011. James is further directed to appear for a show cause hearing on January 5, 2012, at 1:30 p.m. in Courtroom 3, 17th Floor, United States Courthouse, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California. Failure to file a response or to appear at the hearing may result in dismissal of the action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
