ORDER 

The Plaintiff seeks review of a determination of the Commissioner of the Social 

Security Administration. The case was filed on January 17, 2018, and on January 25, 

2018, the Court issued a Scheduling Order. The Plaintiff also filed an Application to

Extension of Time to Serve the Complaint.
