MEMORADUM AND ORDER
On October 10, 2025, I sent out a Memorandum and Order to Show Cause
why this case should not be dismissed without prejudice for plaintiff’s failure to
comply with the provisions of the Case Management Order. ECF 8. That Order
gave plaintiff specific instructions on how to satisfy the Show Cause Order and
comply with the provisions of the Case Management Order, which is plaintiff’s
responsibility as a self-represented litigant. ECF 8. In response, plaintiff filed a
one-page handwritten document informing the Court that he has now moved to
Chicago (but not providing a complete, current address in contravention of his
responsibilities as a self-represented litigant) and listing the name of his new
doctor, his current treatment, and his alleged current impairments. ECF 9. This
document in no way satisfies the provisions of the Show Cause Order or the Case
Management Order. Plaintiff does not even address the ALJ decision at issue in
Case: 1:25-cv-00090-RWS Doc. #: 10 Filed: 10/31/25 Page: 1 of 3 PageID #:

this case, which is the only matter for decision before this Court.
In the interests of justice, the Court will afford plaintiff one last opportunity
to meet the requirements of the Memorandum and Order to Show Cause issued on
October 10, 2025, and the Case Management Order entered on May 27, 2025.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff shall comply with the
provisions of the Memorandum and Order to Show Cause Issued on October
10, 2025 and show cause in writing by November 19, 2025, why the complaint
should not be dismissed without prejudice for failure to comply with the
provisions of the case management order. Plaintiff can satisfy the Show
Cause Order entered in this case on October 10, 2025, by filing his brief in
support of the complaint by November 19, 2025. 	The brief must comply with
the provisions of the case management order and must include a statement of
uncontroverted material facts, with each fact set out in a separately numbered
paragraph and supported by citations to the administrative transcript.
Failure to comply with the provisions of the Memorandum and Order to
Show Cause issued on October 10, 2025, by November 19, 2025, will result in
the dismissal of the complaint without prejudice without further notice by the
Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff must also file a separate
Case: 1:25-cv-00090-RWS Doc. #: 10 Filed: 10/31/25 Page: 2 of 3 PageID #:

document as soon as possible indicating his new address of record. The Court will
continue to serve plaintiff at the previously provided address of record unless and
until plaintiff complies with this requirement, as it remains plaintiff’s sole
responsibility as a self-represented litigant to inform this Court of any change of
address by providing a complete address for service. See E.D.Mo. L.R. 2.06.
