In Section V.A.1 of its May 21, 2015 Case Management Order, the

20

Court ordered Plaintiff to serve and file his motion for judgment on the

21

pleadings within thirty-five (35) days of the service and filing of the

22

Commissioner’s answer. Dkt. 9 at 3. The Commissioner filed its answer on

23

September 23, 2015. Dkt. 12. Plaintiff’s deadline to file his motion for

24

judgment on the pleadings was thus October 28, 2015. It has now been more

25

than 40 days since Plaintiff’s deadline has passed.

26

Accordingly, on or before December 30, 2015, Plaintiff is ORDERED to

27

either (a) show good cause in writing, if any exists, why Plaintiff did not timely

28

file motion for judgment on the pleadings, and why the Court should not

1

dismiss this action for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with the

2

Court’s prior order; or (b) serve and file his motion for judgment on the

3

pleadings in the format specified in the May 21, 2015 Case Management

4

Order. Plaintiff is expressly forewarned that if he fails to do either, the Court

5

will deems such failure a further violation of a Court order justifying a

6

recommendation of dismissal and also deem such failure as further evidence of

7

a lack of prosecution warranting a recommendation of dismissal.
