UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO ANSWER AND SUBMIT CERTIFIED ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD (FIRST REQUEST)
Defendant Kilolo Kijakazi, Acting Commissioner of Social Security (Commissioner), through her undersigned counsel, hereby requests a 30-day extension of time, from January 3, 2023 to February 2, 2023, to answer Plaintiff's complaint and submit the Certified Administrative Record (CAR) in the above-captioned case.
This is the Commissioner's first request for an extension. Defendant respectfully requests this extension because the Social Security Administration's Office of Appellate Operations has encountered issues that are delaying processing of the CAR. Preparation of the CAR for filing in the instant case is therefore taking longer than anticipated despite the Commissioner's diligent efforts to have it ready on time.
Counsel for the Commissioner conferred with Plaintiff's counsel Marc V. Kalagian via email on December 30, 2022. Plaintiff's counsel indicated that Plaintiff does not oppose the Commissioner's request.
WHEREFORE, Defendant requests until February 2, 2023, to answer Plaintiff's complaint and submit the CAR.
IT IS SOORDERED.
