HON. BRENDA WEKSLER, UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE.
Defendant, Kilolo Kijakazi, Acting Commissioner of Social Security (the “Commissioner”), by and through her undersigned Counsel, files this unopposed motion to file her Answer late.

Counsel did not intend to delay these proceedings by missing Defendant's Answer deadline and sincerely apologizes to Plaintiff's counsel, Plaintiff, and to the Court for any inconvenience. Defendant will file her Answer and CAR today. Defendant respectfully requests that the Court grant this unopposed motion.
IT IS SO ORDERED:
