STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR A
SECOND EXTENSION FOR DEFENDANT
TO FILE THE ANSWER AND CERTIFIED
ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties, through their respective counsel of record, and subject to the approval of the Court, that Defendant shall have an extension of time of twenty-one (21) days to file an answer and to lodge the certified administrative record in this matter. Defendant requests this extension because the certified administrative record is not yet complete. The Court Case Preparation and Review Branch of the Office of Disability Adjudication and Review (ODAR) requires more time to acquire the transcript of Plaintiff's administrative hearing and then to prepare and ship the certified administrative record. The contracting agency that transcribes such recordings has encountered numerous technical difficulties with the audio recording of Plaintiff's administrative hearing and has, as yet, been unable to transcribe this portion of the administrative record. ODAR is working closely with the contractor to resolve the issue.
The current due date for the answer is October 22, 2012. The new date will be November 13, 2012. The parties further stipulate that the Court's Scheduling Order shall be modified accordingly.
Respectfully submitted,
