1. Pursuant to the Court’s May 11, 2006 Order in Case No. 05-04834 MHP and Civil Local Rule

3-12, Defendant hereby notifies the Court that the Defendant is not opposed to the above-captioned actions

being related for the following reasons:

a. Both of the above-captioned cases involve the same Plaintiff and apparently the same issue.

b. Because the factual and legal issues presented by this case are based upon the same or very

similar facts, it is likely that there would be a duplication of labor if heard by different Judges. Assignment

to a single Judge would conserve judicial resources and promote an efficient determination of the action.

2. Because there has been a Procedural Order For Social Security Review Actions (which suggest

that Social Security Appeals proceed in court without oral argument) issued in both cases, Defendant

requests that the status conference scheduled for Monday, June 19, 2006 at 4:00 p.m. before Magistrate

Judge Zimmerman be vacated and the matter regarding whether the cases are related be submitted without

oral argument.

3. Defendant has tried to contact Plaintiff’s counsel by telephone and e-mail to determine Plaintiff’s

position on these issues. There has been no response.

Respectfully submitted,

KEVIN V. RYAN
