JONESBORO DIVISION
MARY ELLEN CLARK

PLAINTIFF
3:15-cv-211-DPM-JTK

CAROLYN COLVIN, Acting Commissioner,
Social Security Administration

DEFENDANT

ORDER
Plaintiff has filed a complaint against Defendant, appealing the denial of disability
insurance benefits and supplemental security income. (Doc. No. 2.) On October 22, 2015,
Defendant filed an answer to the complaint, as well as a notice that she will file the
administrative transcript conventionally with the Clerk’s office. (Docs. No. 7-8.) Defendant still
has not filed the administrative transcript in this case. The statute governing judicial review in
social security cases require, “as part of the Commissioner’s answer the Commissioner of Social
Security shall file a certified copy of the transcript of the record including the evidence upon
which the findings and decision complained of are based.” 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) (2015). Defendant
has not complied with this requirement as part of her answer.
Defendant must file the administrative record in this case within seven (7) days, or show
cause for why she cannot. Failure to comply with this order could result in the Clerk entering
default for Plaintiff.
SO ORDERED this 12th day of November, 2015.
