Date Filed Document Text
March 2, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 13 SCHEDULING ORDER: The Government having filed its administrative record (ECF No. 12), the Court hereby enters the following Scheduling Order:Plaintiff shall file a motion to reverse and/or remand, supporting memorandum of law, and statement of material facts on or before March 31, 2023. Defendant shall file a motion to affirm or a motion for voluntary remand, supporting memorandum of law, and statement of material facts on or before April 30, 2023. Within 14 days after Defendant files its motion, Plaintiff may file a reply pursuant to Local Rule 7(d).Prior to the filing of any dispositive motions, counsel are encouraged to confer regarding the merits of the case in an effort to determine whether a reversal and voluntary remand are appropriate.The court reminds the parties of the previously filed Standing Scheduling Order which sets forth page limits and form and content requirements for motions, supporting memoranda, and statement of materials facts (ECF No. 4). The parties should avoid boilerplate discussions of the governing legal standards as the court is familiar with the standard of review and the sequential evaluation process employed in the analysis of Social Security disability applications. The parties should focus on informing the court of relevant and controlling legal authority and applying it to the facts of this case.Motions filed by the parties must comply with the requirements set forth above and in the Local Rules of Civil Procedure. Failure to comply may result in denial of the motion.Requests for extensions of these deadlines are discouraged and, unless unusual circumstances dictate otherwise, counsel should not seek an extension of greater than 30 days. Any motion for extension of a deadline must include a showing of good cause as required by Local Rule 7(b)(2) and must be filed at least three days before the existing deadline. Signed by Judge Michael P. Shea on 3/2/2023. (Britt, Joshua)
