ORDER

CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting
Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.

On April 18, 2016, plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment. ECF No. 10. Pursuant

18

to the court’s scheduling order, defendant was required to file an opposition or a statement of

19

non-opposition to plaintiff’s motion, as well as any cross-motions, within 30 days of the date

20

plaintiff’s motion was served. ECF No. 3. On May 19, 2016, defendant timely filed an

21

opposition to plaintiff’s motion. ECF No. 11. Defendant did not, however, file a cross-motion

22

for summary judgment. Without defendant moving for summary judgment, the court is without

23

authority to enter judgment in defendant’s favor should defendant successfully oppose plaintiff’s

24

motion.

25

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that defendant shall file a cross-motion for

26

summary judgment within 14 days of the date this order is served.

DATED: May 19, 2016.
