IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ALABAMA SOUTHERN DIVISION MARTHA PARKER o/b/o CHAMYIA EDWARDS, Plaintiff, : vs. : MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, Commissioner of Social Security, Defendant. ORDER On September 15, 2010, plaintiff filed a notice of incomplete record (Doc. 15). The defendant filed his response on October 1, 2010 (Doc. 19) followed by the filing of a supplemental transcript on October 4, 2010 (Doc. 20). Because the record is now complete (see id.), plaintiff's notice to the Court (Doc. 15) is deemed MOOT. Nevertheless, the undersigned recognizes that plaintiff may make the substantive argument at the hearing on December 14, 2010 (see Doc. 13), in favor of remand, that the ALJ did not considered the records referenced in the September 15, 2010 notice (see Doc. 15, at 2 ("[I]t is respectfully requested Plaintiff's missing records be made part of the Court Record, and that an inquiry be made as to whether the missing records were viewed and considered by the Administrative Law Judge."); compare id. with Doc. 19, at 1 ("As the ALJ acknowledged receipt of the evidence at the hearing and admitted the evidence into the record [], the ALJ stated that she considered all of the evidence [], and the Appeals Council issued a certified supplemental administrative record, Defendant has a reasonable belief that the ALJ considered the evidence included in the supplemental : CA 10-0159-C : :
