Case No. CV408-190

COMMISSIONER OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Defendant.

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Claimant Ricky Johns filed this social security appeal on September 26, 2008, but has since abandoned any effort to litigate it. (Doc. 1.) He has failed, for example, to brief his position, despite a generous briefing deadline extension granted by the Court. (Doe: 25.) The Court thus directed him to show cause why his case should not be dismissed. (Doc. 27.) It gave him 15 days to do so, but he has not responded. Accordingly, pursuant to the Court's inherent power to police its docket, claimant's case should be DISMISSED without prejudice for failing to obey this Court's order. Local Rule 41(b) (authorizing dismissal for neglect of any Court order); see Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626,63031 (1962); Mingo v. Sugar Cane Growers Co-op, 864 F.2d 101, 102 (11th Cir.

/A

1989); Jones v. Graham, 709 F.2d 1457, 1458 (11th Cir. 1983)

SO REPORTED AND RECOMMENDED this 26th day of October, 2009.
