Plaintiff Brenda Harris, pro se, filed this action on June 16, 2015 appealing the

13

determination of the onset date of Harris’s disability by Defendant Carolyn Colvin, Acting

14

Commissioner of the Social Security Administration (the “Commissioner”). After receiving two

15

extensions of time from the Court, the Commissioner filed her answer on November 25, 2015 and

16

served it on Harris via certified mail. See dkt. 18.

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 16-5, Harris was required to file a motion for summary

18

judgment no later than 28 days after receipt of the Commissioner’s answer. No motion has been

19

filed to date. Accordingly, Harris is hereby ORDERED to show cause why the case should not be

20

dismissed for failure to prosecute, by filing a response to this Order no later than April 29, 2016.

Harris’s response must include either her motion for summary judgment or a request for an

22

extension with an explanation of why additional time is needed. If Harris fails to file a response,

23

the case will be dismissed.
