FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL

Defendant.

No. 2:16-cv-2118-KJM-KJN PS

ORDER

On November 10, 2016, plaintiff filed a “statement of remand,” which the court liberally 

construes as a motion to remand. (ECF No. 12.) Thereafter, on November 14, 2016, the 

Commissioner filed a motion to strike plaintiff’s motion to remand on the basis that it is 

premature. (ECF No. 13.) The Commissioner’s counsel explained that she is still assembling the 

administrative record, and once that is complete, she will be able to consider plaintiff’s request 

for a voluntary remand.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Commissioner’s motion to strike (ECF No. 13) is granted.

2. Plaintiff’s “statement of remand,” liberally construed as a motion to remand, is 

STRICKEN without prejudice as premature.

3. Once the Commissioner has completed assembly of the administrative record and

review of plaintiff’s request for voluntary remand, the Commissioner shall promptly 

file the administrative record and notify plaintiff of its decision on the request for

4. If the Commissioner does not agree to a voluntary remand, plaintiff shall file his 

motion for summary judgment/remand within 45 days of the Commissioner’s notice 

declining to voluntarily remand the action.

5. All other briefing deadlines outlined in the initial scheduling order remain unchanged.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
