Date Filed Document Text
September 20, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 12 SCHEDULING ORDER: The Commissioner having filed her answer in the form of the Certified Administrative Record (see Doc. No. #11 ), the Court hereby enters the following Scheduling Order: - The plaintiff shall file a motion to reverse and/or remand, supporting memorandum of law, and statement of material facts on or before October 20, 2023; - The 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 November 20, 2023; and - The plaintiff may file a reply brief pursuant to Local Rule 7(d) on or before December 4, 2023. 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 (Doc. No. #5 ), which sets forth page limits, as well as form and content requirements for motions, supporting memoranda, and statements of materials facts. 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 instead 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 an 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 Robert M. Spector on September 20, 2023. (Spears, Andrew)
