August 8, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 8 ORDER REFERRING CASE TO MAGISTRATE JUDGE. Order that case be referred to the Clerk of Court for assignment to a Magistrate Judge for Social Security. Referred to Magistrate Judge Gabriel W. Gorenstein. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 8/8/2018) (anc)
August 8, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 7 ORDER: You have an option to agree to having the Magistrate Judge to whom your case has been referred - Magistrate Judge Gabriel W. Gorenstein - decide your case instead of recommending a decision to the District Court Judge, who would then review the Report and Recommendation and address any objections to it. If you consent to having the Magistrate Judge decide your case, the Magistrate Judge replaces the District Judge, thereby speeding up the resolution of the case (because only one judge instead of two will be involved in your case). Any appeal from a Magistrate Judge's decision following consent is directly to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in the same way that an appeal from a District Judge's decision would be taken. If you do not consent to having the Magistrate Judge decide your case, then the Magistrate Judge will issue a Report and Recommendation and the District Judge will consider any objections either party has to the Report and Recommendation before a final judgment is entered in your case; and as further set forth herein. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Paul A. Engelmayer on 8/8/2018) (anc)

If the Commissioner wishes to file a motion for judgment on the pleadings, the Commissioner must do so within 60 days of the date on which the e-CAR was filed. The motion must contain a full recitation of the relevant facts and a full description of the underlying administrative proceeding. The plaintiff must file an answering brief within 60 days of the filing of the Commissioner's motion. The Commissioner may file a reply within 21 days thereafter. Memoranda in support of or in opposition to any dispositive motion may not exceed 25 pages in length; reply memoranda may not exceed ten pages in length.
