On May 23, 2007, Plaintiff filed the present action in this Court. Plaintiff seeks review of the

Commissioner’s denial of her application for benefits. On June 6, 2007, the Court issued a

Scheduling Order. The Scheduling Order states that within 120 days after service, Defendant shall

file and serve a copy of the administrative record which shall be deemed an answer to the complaint. 

The Order also provides that within 30 days after service of the administrative record, Plaintiff shall

serve on Defendant a letter brief outlining why remand is warranted which Defendant shall respond

to within 35 days. Thereafter, if Defendant does not stipulate to remand, within 30 days of

Defendant’s response, Plaintiff must file and serve an opening brief.

On December 18, 2007, Defendant lodged the administrative record. On January 29, 2008,

the parties stipulated to an extension of time for Plaintiff to serve her confidential brief to February

15, 2008. Pursuant to the Scheduling Order, Plaintiff was required to file her opening brief in this
