1

 Carolyn Colvin became the Acting Commissioner of Social Security on November 30, 2024. 

Pursuant to Rule 25(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Carolyn Colvin should be 

substituted for Martin O’Malley as the defendant in this suit. No further action need be taken to 

continue this suit by reason of the last sentence of section 205(g) of the Social Security Act, 42 

U.S.C. § 405(g).

extension of time to respond to Plaintiff’s Complaint in this case from January 6, 2025, up to and 

including February 5, 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 6, 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 5, 2025 (30 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 

he 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 5, 2025, to respond to Plaintiff’s 

Complaint.
