ORDER

December 10, 2013

Hennessy, M.J.

On October 9, 2013, this Court entered an order allowing Plaintiff Ronald E. Egan, M.D.,
to amend his complaint to substitute Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the United States
Department of Health and Human Services, for John Polanowicz, Secretary of the Executive
Office of Health and Human Services. (Docket #19). Dr. Egan has yet to file an amended
complaint. Therefore, Dr. Egan is hereby ORDERED to file an amended complaint with the
appropriate substitution by January 10, 2014. Failure to comply with this Order may result in
dismissal of this action for failure to prosecute. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b); Link v. Wabash R.
Co., 370 U.S. 626, 629-30 (1962). Dr. Egan is reminded that he must also comply with the
directives given in the Notice of Decision of Medicare Appeals Council attached as Exhibit 1 to

his complaint.
