Case Name in Social Security Case - Unavailable

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
BRENDA J. T.,
Plaintiff,
v. 	No. 2:25-cv-00976-KRS
FRANK BISIGNANO,
Commissioner of Social Security Administration,
Defendant.
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
THIS MATTER is before the Court sua sponte. On October 7, 2025, Plaintiff Brenda J. T.
(“Plaintiff”) filed a complaint against Defendant Social Security Administration (“Defendant”).
(Doc. 1). That same day, the Court ordered Defendant to file an answer on or before December 6,
2025. (Doc. 3). On November 20, 2025, the parties consented to proceed to the undersigned as the
trial judge. (Doc. 7). On December 6, 2025, Defendant filed the certified administrative record.
(Doc. 8). Thus, Plaintiff’s Motion to Reverse or Remand Administrative Agency Decision
(“Motion to Remand”) was due no later than January 5, 2026. See (Doc. 3) (briefing schedule).
Plaintiff has neither filed a Motion to Remand nor requested an extension of time to do so. A
district court has inherent power to dismiss a case sua sponte for failure to prosecute or for failure
to comply with a court order. See Link v. Wabash R.R. Co., 370 U.S. 626, 629-31 (1962); Olsen v.
Mapes, 333 F.3d 1199, 1204 n.3 (10th Cir. 2003).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that on or before February 4, 2026, Plaintiff shall either
file a Motion to Reverse or Remand Administrative Agency Decision with a supporting
memorandum of law, or file a response to this Order showing good cause why this case should not
be dismissed without prejudice for failure to prosecute.
