SCHEDULING ORDER. The Government having filed the administrative record on March 18, 2025, the Court hereby enters the following Scheduling Order:Plaintiff shall file a motion to reverse and/or remand and supporting memorandum of law no later than April 17, 2025. Defendant shall then have until May 19, 2025 to file a motion to affirm or a motion for voluntary remand. Within 14 days after Defendant files its motion, Plaintiff may file a reply pursuant to Local Rule 7(d). The Court reminds the parties of the previously filed Standing Order which sets forth page limits and form and content requirements for motions and supporting memoranda. In addition to complying with these requirements, memoranda 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, in the Standing Order, and in the Local Rules of Civil Procedure. Failure to comply may result in denial of the motion. Any motion for extension of a deadline must comply with the Social Security Standing Order and Local Rule 7(b)(2) and must be filed at least three (3) days before the existing deadline.The Court notes that the administrative record in this case is unusually large. Plaintiff's counsel is respectfully encouraged to start working on his brief right away, and once he identifies the claims of error he will be asserting, he is directed to meet and confer with the Commissioner's counsel promptly in an effort to determine whether a reversal and voluntary remand are appropriate; if the parties do not so agree, then the Commissioner can likewise start working on his brief as soon as possible. Motions to amend the foregoing schedule are likely to be viewed liberally in light of the size of the record, if they represent that counsel has been working diligently on the case since the record was first docketed, but have been unable to meet the deadline in light of the record's size. Motions to amend that cannot make that representation may be received differently. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Thomas O. Farrish on 3/20/25.(Wood, R.)
