CIVIL ACTION NO. 15-2145 (MLC)
MEMORANDUM OPINION

THE PLAINTIFF seeking review of a determination by the Social Security
Administration (see dkt. 1); and the Court, in an order entered June 16, 2015 (“June 2015
Order”), directing the plaintiff, inter alia, pursuant to Local Civil Rule 9.1(e)(1) to serve
and electronically file a brief (“Brief”) setting forth all errors that demonstrate entitlement
to relief by September 9, 2015 (see dkt. 6); and
THE COURT ordering that the failure to abide by that directive would result in
the dismissal of the complaint for lack of prosecution under Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 41(b) without further notice (id.); and the plaintiff failing to serve and file a
Brief, and thereby failing to abide by a court order, i.e., the June 2015 Order; and
THE COURT previously notifying the plaintiff of the consequences of failing to
timely file a Brief; and thus the Court intending to dismiss the complaint for lack of
prosecution; and

FOR GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, the Court will issue an appropriate order
and judgment.
