Case No. 1:15-cv-01239-EPG

v.
CAROLYN COLVIN, Commissioner of
Social Security,
Defendant.
On August 10, 2015, Plaintiff filed a complaint requesting a review of the

19

Commissioner’s denial of disability benefits. (ECF No. 1). Pursuant to this Court’s scheduling

20

order and subsequent stipulations, Plaintiff filed her opening brief on June 3, 2016. (ECF No.

21

18.) Defendant has filed two stipulations requesting extensions of time to file her opposition

22

brief, both of which have been granted. (ECF Nos. 20, 22.) The most recent stipulation required

23

Defendant to file her opposition brief no later than September 6, 2016. No opposition brief has

24

been filed to date and Defendant has not requested any further extensions.

25

Defendant is thus ordered to show cause why her answer should not be stricken and

26

default should not be entered for Plaintiff because of her failure to oppose Plaintiff’s motion.

27

Defendant is ordered to file a written response to this Order to Show Cause within 21 days of the

28

date of this Order. If Defendant requires more time to file an opposition brief, Defendant should

in sanctions.
