CIVIL ACTION NO. 15-6217 (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 March 1, 2016 (“March
2016 Order”), granting the plaintiff’s request to extend the time for 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 to March 28, 2016
(see dkt. 11); and
THE COURT having previously ordered on December 1, 2015 (“December 2015
Order”) that the failure to abide by such a directive would result in the dismissal of the
complaint for lack of prosecution under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) without
further notice (see dkt. 7); and the plaintiff failing to serve and file a Brief, and thereby
failing to abide by two court orders, i.e., the December 2015 Order and the March 2016
Order; and
THE COURT previously notifying the plaintiff of the consequences of failing to
timely file a Brief (id.); 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.
