day extension of time to respond to Plaintiff’s Complaint in this case from January 14, 2025, up to 

and including February 28, 2025. In support of this request, the Commissioner respectfully states 

as follows:

1. Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s Complaint is due to be filed by January 14, 2025.

Defendant has not previously requested an extension of this deadline. 

2. In accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures, recently amended to add 

Supplemental Rules for Social Security review cases under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), the 

Commissioner files a certified administrative record (CAR) as the Answer to a 

Complaint for review.

3. Counsel for the Commissioner has been informed by the client agency, which is the 

Social Security Administration, Office of Appellate Operations, that the CAR is not 

fully prepared in this matter. The client agency therefore needs more time to prepare 

the CAR for the Court’s review. 

4. For this reason, Defendant requests an extension to February 28, 2025 (45 days), to 

file an Answer or other response in this matter.

5. Counsel for the Commissioner has consulted with Plaintiff’s counsel who advised that 

she has no objection to this extension request.

6. This request is made in good faith and is not intended to delay the proceedings in this 

matter. 

7. I am attempting to preserve limited judicial resources and have applied the most rapid 

response under the circumstances.

WHEREFORE, Defendant requests until February 28, 2025, to respond to Plaintiff’s 

Complaint.
