On August 29, 2014, Plaintiff filed a Complaint seeking review of the

Commissioner of Social Security’s decision denying Plaintiff’s claim for disability

18

benefits. (Doc. 1). Pursuant to the Court’s Scheduling Order issued January 21, 2015

19

(Doc. 11), Plaintiff was required to file his Opening Brief within 60 days after Defendant

20

filed the Answer. Defendant filed the Answer on September 14, 2015, thus Plaintiff was

21

required to file his Opening Brief by November 13, 2015.

On April 7, 2016 this Court issued an Order to Show Cause (Doc. 26) requiring

23

Plaintiff to file his opening brief on or before Friday, April 22, 2016, or show cause in

24

writing on or before April 22, 2016 why this lawsuit should not be dismissed for failure

to prosecute and failure to comply with the Court’s prior orders. Plaintiff has not filed his

26

Opening Brief or otherwise responded to the Order to Show Cause, nor has Plaintiff filed

27

any other document in this matter.
