IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN
SHAKIA TURNER for T.L.H. TURNER,
ORDER
Plaintiff,
v.
12-cv-268-wmc
MICHAEL J. ASTRUE,
Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
This is an action for judicial review of an adverse decision of the Commissioner of Social
Security brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). On July 2, 2012, this court issued a briefing
schedule allowing plaintiff Shakia Turner until August 1, 2012 to submit a brief in support of
her petition for review of the Commissioner’s decision. It is now August 8, 2012, and plaintiff
has not submitted a brief or asked for more time within which to do so. Because plaintiff is
proceeding pro se, I will strike the current briefing schedule to allow plaintiff another opportunity
to submit a brief in support of her petition.
In her brief, plaintiff does not need to make legal arguments or cite to any legal authority,
but she must explain to the court the specific reasons why she thinks the administrative law
judge wrongly decided the claim for social security benefits. In addition, plaintiff should review
the administrative law judge’s decision and point out those findings that she disagrees with,
citing to evidence in the administrative record that supports her position.
If plaintiff fails to submit a brief, then her complaint will be dismissed for failure to
prosecute.
ORDER
