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 August 15, 2007, Defendant lodged the administrative record. Pursuant to the Scheduling

Order, Plaintiff was required to file his opening brief in this Court on or before November 19, 2007.
