Plaintiff Charlotte Jordan is proceeding pro se in this appeal of the denial of Social
17
Security benefits.
18
On December 20, 2011, the Court received documents from Plaintiff that appear to relate
19
attorney fee issues. To the extent the documents relate to arguments Plaintiff intends to present in
20
her Opening Brief, the documents are premature.
21
In the Court’s August 26, 2011, Scheduling Order, the Court set forth the requirements of
22
a Social Security Appeal. Within 120 days of service, Defendant will serve and file the
23
Administrative Record. Once the record is filed, the parties exchange letter briefs and Plaintiff
24

ultimately files an Opening Brief with the Court.1

To assist Plaintiff in understanding the steps of this appeal, the Court will issue a separate Informational
Order for Pro Se Litigants.

Here, Defendant was served on October 24, 2011, and the Administrate Record is not due

2

until February 24, 2012. Plaintiff’s filing is therefore premature and the Clerk is DIRECTED to

3

RETURN the documents to Plaintiff.
