ORDER
KAYMANI D. WEST, Magistrate Judge.
On May 23, 2017, Plaintiff, appearing through counsel, filed this action appealing a denial of social security benefits. ECF No. 1. Defendant filed an Answer and copy of the administrative record on September 26, 2017. ECF Nos. 9, 10. Plaintiff's brief in support of her appeal was due by October 26, 2017. See Local Rule 83.VII.04 (D.S.C.); see also ECF No. 9. On October 24, 2017, Plaintiff sought and received an extension, making her brief due November 27, 2017. ECF Nos. 12, 13. To date, however, Plaintiff has not filed her brief, nor has counsel communicated with the court regarding the extended deadline.
Accordingly, it appears to the court that Plaintiff may wish to abandon this action. If Plaintiff wishes to pursue her appeal, she is ordered to file a brief in support of his appeal no later than December 15, 2017. Plaintiff is advised that if she fails to comply with this deadline, the undersigned may recommend that this matter be dismissed with prejudice for failure to prosecute. See Davis v. Williams, 588 F.2d 69, 70 (4th Cir. 1978); Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(b).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
