CYNTHIA ROYAL, Plaintiff, v. KILOLO KIJAKAZI, Defendant.


ORDER DIRECTING

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL

SECURITY TO FILE CERTIFIED

COPY OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD

HON. CYNTHIA BASHANT UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE

By this action, Cynthia Royal seeks court review of the Commissioner of Social Security (“Commissioner”)'s decision to deny her application for Social Security Disability benefits. She initiated this action more than seven months ago, on September 15, 2021. (Compl., ECF No. 1.) Yet, since then, the Commissioner has not filed a certified copy of the administrative record (“CAR”) in accordance with the Social Security Act. See 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (“As part of the Commissioner's answer [to a civil action challenging the Commissioner's final decision] the Commissioner . . . shall file a certified copy of the transcript of the record including the evidence upon which the findings and decision complained of are based.”).

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS the Commissioner to file the CAR in the instant proceeding by no later than May 12, 2022, or file an explanation as to why they cannot do so by that time.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
