IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN

BRENDA MARCELL OWEN,
Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER
18-cv-100-wmc

CAROLYN COLVIN, Deputy Commissioner
for Operations, performing the duties and functions not
reserved to the Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.

BRENDA MARCELL OWEN,
Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER
18-cv-101-wmc

CAROLYN COLVIN, Deputy Commissioner
for Operations, performing the duties and functions not
reserved to the Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.

BRENDA MARCELL OWEN,
Plaintiff,
v.

ORDER
18-cv-106-wmc

CAROLYN COLVIN, Deputy Commissioner
for Operations, performing the duties and functions not
reserved to the Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.

Plaintiff Brenda Marcell Owen filed three pro se complaints against the
Commissioner of the Social Security Administration and the court granted her leave to
proceed in forma pauperis in an order entered on February 21, 2018, in each case. In that
same order, the court directed Owen by March 30, 2018, to show that she had completed
all the steps of the administrative process and obtained a final decision from the
commissioner. Owen was warned that her failure to show that she has obtained a final
decision (or decisions) would result in dismissal of her lawsuits. To date, Owen has not
filed the information as directed or otherwise shown she has completed the administrative
process. Owen’s most recent filings suggest that she may have received a denial of a claim,
but that document is not a final decision from the Commissioner.
Accordingly, under the inherent power necessarily vested in a court to manage its
own docket, these three case will be dismissed without prejudice.

ORDER
IT IS ORDERED that cases 18-cv-100-wmc, 18-cv-101-wmc and 18-cv-106-wmc
filed by Brenda Marcell Owen are DISMISSED without prejudice. The clerk of court is
directed to enter judgment in each of these three actions in favor of defendant and close
these cases.
