(IN CHAMBERS) ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

On October 13, 2017, Plaintiff Martha Esparza Lopez filed a Complaint seeking judicial review of
a decision of the Commissioner of Social Security, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) and 28 U.S.C. § 1361.
(Docket Entry No. 1.) On October 18, 2017, the Court issued an Order Re: Procedures in Social Security
Case (Docket Entry No. 6), requiring Plaintiff to file a motion for summary judgment no later than thirty
days from the service of Defendant’s responsive pleading and the Certified Administrative Record (Docket
Entry Nos. 13-14)
As of the date of this Order, Plaintiff has failed to file a motion for summary judgment. Therefore,
Plaintiff is ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, within fourteen (14) days of the date of this Order, why this
action should not be dismissed with prejudice for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with the Court’s
Order. Alternatively, Plaintiff may discharge this Order to Show Cause by filing a motion for summary
judgment or remand no later than April 25, 2018 . If Plaintiff timely files her motion, the Court will
consider it to be a satisfactory response to this Order to Show Cause and vacate the Order.
In addition, Plaintiff may instead request a voluntary dismissal of this action pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a). A Notice of Dismissal form is attached for Plaintiff’s
convenience. Plaintiff is expressly warned that failure to file a timely response to this Order will
result in an Order dismissing this action with prejudice for her failure to comply with Court orders
and for her failure to prosecute. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
