LORETTA RUTH MILLER, Plaintiff, v. COMMISSIONER, Social Security Administration, Defendant.
OPINION AND ORDER
MCSHANE, Judge:
On June 11, 2013, plaintiff Loretta Miller filed her complaint (# 1) for judicial review of a final decision of the Commissioner of Social Security denying her application for disability , insurance benefits under Titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 401-134. Since that time, plaintiff has not paid her filing fee or filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. This Court has contacted plaintiff's attorney, Arthur Stevens, multiple times without result. On October 18, 2013, this Court ordered plaintiff to pay the filing fee or to file an application to proceed in forma pauperis by November 7, 2013. Order, Oct. 8, 2013, ECF No. 4. Accordingly, because plaintiff failed to comply with this Court's order (#4), her complaint (#1) is dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute. IT IS SO ORDERED.
For example, this Court emailed Mr. Stevens on July 7, 2013 and communicated with Mr. Stevens on August 9, 2013 via telephone.
