No. 4:13CV551 AGF

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court, sua sponte, upon review of the file. The case was referred
to the undersigned for a report and recommendation pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b). The suit
involves Applications for Disability Insurance Benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act.
On April 16, 2014, the undersigned entered an Order directing Plaintiff to inform the
Court, in writing, whether he intends to pursue his claims based solely on the allegations made in
his Complaint, or whether he wishes to pursue his claims by way of a separate Brief in Support of
Complaint. The record shows that Plaintiff failed to comply with the Order.
On April 30, 2014, the undersigned entered an Order directing Plaintiff to inform the
Court, in writing, whether he intends to pursue his claims based solely on the allegations made in
his Complaint, or whether he wishes to pursue his claims by way of a separate Brief in Support of
Complaint. A review of the Court file shows that, to date, Plaintiff has not filed a brief in support
of his Complaint, or in any other way complied with the Local Rules or previous Order

of this Court. The undersigned construes this to mean that Plaintiff wants to pursue his claims
based solely on the allegations made in his Complaint. Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that no later than June 30, 2014, Defendant shall file a brief
in support of the Answer.
