DISMISSAL ORDER

September 16, 2014
SOROKIN, D.J.
This action challenges a final decision of the Commissioner of the Social Security
Administration. Plaintiff, Juan Marales, who is represented by counsel, filed this Complaint on
January 29, 2014. Doc. No. 1. On February 25, 2014, the Court issued an Order which required
that Marales complete service on the Defendant within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the
date of the Order. Doc. No. 8. Thus, Marales was ordered to serve the Defendant by June 25,
2014. Marales did not comply with that Order. On July 24, 2014, the Court issued an Order
requiring Marales to show cause why this action should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute
the action and for failure to comply with the Court’s Order of February 25, 2014. Doc. No. 12.
The July 24, 2014 Order to Show Cause was sent to Marales’s counsel by certified mail
and by e-mail through the Court’s electronic filing system. Doc. No. 12. To date, Marales has

not completed service on the Defendant and he has not responded to the Court’s Order of July
24, 2014.
Accordingly, for Marales’s failure to prosecute this action, and for his failure to comply
with the Court’s Orders of February 25, 2014, and July 24, 2014, the Court hereby DISMISSES
this action.

SO ORDERED.
