Defendant.

10 Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, filed a Complaint against the Social Security Administration
11 seeking judicial review of the Commissioner of Social Security’s decision denying Disability
12 Insurance benefits. ECF No. 6. Under Supplemental Rule 6 for Social Security cases, Plaintiff’s
13 Opening Brief was due thirty (30) days after the Administrative Record was filed. Fed. R. Civ. P.
14 Supp. Soc. Sec. R. 6; ECF No. 5. On December 8, 2025, Defendant filed the Administrative Record.
15 ECF No. 8. Plaintiff’s Opening Brief was due January 8, 2026, which she did not file. The Court
16 subsequently entered an Order on February 23, 2026 requiring Plaintiff to file her Opening Brief no
17 later than March 25, 2026. ECF No. 10. The Court explained that failure to file an Opening Brief
18 will result in dismissal of this action under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b) for failure to
19 prosecute. Id.
20 As of the date of this Order, Plaintiff has not filed her Opening Brief or sought to extend the
21 filing deadline. A court may dismiss an action based on a party’s failure to prosecute an action or
22 failure to obey a court order. Ferdik v. Bonzelet, 963 F.2d 1258, 1260-61 (9th Cir. 1992).
23 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this matter is dismissed in its entirety, without
