Case No. 4:15-CV-1953 ERW NAB

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the undersigned sua sponte. This case has been referred to the
undersigned United States Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), for a report and
recommendation on dispositive matters and for rulings on non-dispositive matters. [Doc. 6.] On
December 31, 2015, Plaintiff filed a Complaint seeking judicial review of an administrative
decision that denied Plaintiff’s application for a period of disability and disability insurance
benefits. On March 8, 2016, Defendant filed an Answer to the Complaint and a certified copy of
the Administrative Record. [Docs. 13, 14.] Pursuant to this District’s Local Rule 9.02, Plaintiff
was required to serve and file a Brief in Support of the Complaint within thirty (30) days of
Defendant’s service of the Answer and the Administrative Record. See E.D. Mo. L. R. 9.02.
As of the date of this Order, Plaintiff has not filed a Brief, nor has Plaintiff filed a Motion
for an Extension of Time. Plaintiff’s Brief is now past due. The undersigned therefore orders
Plaintiff to show cause, in writing, why this case should not be dismissed for failure to comply
with the Local Rules and the Case Management Order of January 4, 2016.
Accordingly,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiff shall show cause, in writing, why this case
should not be dismissed for failure to comply with the Local Rules and the Case Management
Order of January 4, 2016 no later than May 2, 2016.

Dated this 20th day of April, 2016.
