Date Filed Document Text
October 26, 2020 Set Hearings: Dispositive Motions due by 4/26/2021. (Gutierrez, Y.)
October 26, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 11 ELECTRONIC FILING ORDER FOR COUNSEL - PLEASE ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH COURTESY COPY REQUIREMENTS IN THIS ORDER Signed by Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer on 10/26/2020.(Gutierrez, Y.)
October 26, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 10 AMENDED SCHEDULING ORDER. The Commissioner shall file its answer and the administrative record on or before December 28, 2020. The Court further orders the Commissioner to produce a text-searchable version of the record on the same date as the certified record. This "searchable record" should contain identical images to the certified record as well as the certified record's table of contents and electronic tabs but need not be certified or comply with the PDF/A standard. This "searchable record" shall be understood as a supplemental submission to aid the Court and parties' review of the record, rather than a substitute for the certified record required by 42 U.S.C. 405(g); if there are conflicts, the certified record shall govern. Plaintiff shall file a Motion to Reverse and/or Remand and supporting memorandum of law on or before February 23, 2021. The memorandum of law must explain the reasons why plaintiff believes the decision should be reversed or remanded for reconsideration, specifically addressing whether there was an error of law or a lack of substantial evidence to support the decision below. See, e.g., Greek v. Colvin, 802 F.3d 370, 374-75 (2d Cir. 2015) (per curiam). The Commissioner shall file its response or its Motion to Affirm the decision of the Commissioner on or before April 26, 2021. Plaintiff may file a reply brief within 14 days of the Commissioner's response. The parties should file briefing with appropriate citations to the record but are excused from any requirement to file a separate material statement of facts. Counsel should confer at the earliest practicable time if there will be an agreement to a voluntary remand and to filing of a joint motion for voluntary remand in lieu of full rounds of briefing. The Court will contact the parties shortly after filing of the Commissioner's response regarding a date for scheduling of oral argument. The parties are advised that the Court is unlikely to grant an extension of time of the dates as set forth in this scheduling order, and that failure to comply with the Court's scheduling order may result in a summary grant of relief for the opposing party. Any motion for extension of time must be filed at least 5 days in advance of the deadline that is due and must establish "good cause" with a particularized showing why the existing deadline could not be reasonably met despite the diligence of the party seeking an extension of time in accordance with the requirements of D. Conn. Local Civ. R. 7(b). It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer on 10/26/2020. (Martinez, C.)
October 23, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 9 ORDER OF TRANSFER. Absent consent to a Magistrate Judge, the case is reassigned to Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer for all further proceedings. Signed by Clerk on 10/23/2020.(Anastasio, F.)

September 29, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 6 ORDER granting #2 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis. Plaintiff has filed a motion seeking to proceed without payment of fees and costs, which motion includes a sworn statement as to plaintiff's current financial circumstances. See Doc. #2 -1.

See generally id. at 2-4. Plaintiff also states that she receives SNAP and workers' compensation benefits, and that her daughter pays many of the household bills. See id. At this stage, such allegations are sufficient to establish that plaintiff is unable to pay the ordinary filing fees required by the Court. See 28 U.S.C. 1915(a)(1). Accordingly, plaintiff's #2 Motion for Leave to Proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Sarah A. L. Merriam on 9/29/2020. (Katz, S.)
