16
Ana Cleveland-Hayes (“Plaintiff”) seeks judicial review the administrative decision denying her

17
18

application for Social Security benefits. (Doc. 1). Because Plaintiff is proceeding in forma pauperis,

19

the Court screened her complaint and approved it for service on July 1, 2013. (Doc. 3). In addition, the

20

Court issued Social Security Case Documents and ordered Plaintiff to complete and submit to the Court

21

the “Notice of Submission of Documents in Social Security Appeal Form.” Id. at 3.
On July 29, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion for an extension of time to complete and return the

22
23

documents to the Court, asserting that she has been unable to complete the information as she is away

24

from home with her husband who is undergoing medical treatments. (Doc. 6). In addition, Plaintiff

25

asserts she is requesting an extension because she is “in the process of retaining an attorney and he

26

needs time to review [her] case.” Id.
