IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Judge Robert E. Blackburn
Civil Action No. 15-cv-00472-REB
JAHLIL J. HOWARD,
Plaintiff,
v.
CAROLYN W. COLVIN, Acting Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.

ORDER MAKING ABSOLUTE ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
Blackburn, J.
This matter is before me sua sponte. On November 25, 2015, I entered an Order To
Show Cause [#21]1 directing plaintiff to show cause on or before December 9, 2015, why
this matter should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute. Plaintiff failed to file a timely
response to that order or an extension of time to file such a response. Accordingly, the
show cause order will be made absolute.2
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that my Order To Show Cause [#21], filed
November 25, 2015, is made absolute.
Dated December 11, 2015, at Denver, Colorado.
BY THE COURT:

1

“[#21]” is an example of the convention I use to identify the docket number assigned to a
specific paper by the court’s case management and electronic case filing system (CM/ECF). I use this
convention throughout this order.
2

This case was administratively closed pending plaintiff’s response to the show cause order.
