This action was filed on January 5, 2017. On January 9, 2017, the scheduling order

19 issued requiring “The administrative record shall only be filed electronically and, to the
20 extent practicable, provided in Optical Character Recognition (“OCR”) format.” (ECF No.
21 5 at 2:5-8 (emphasis in original).)

On May 16, 2017, in Davis v. Commissioner of Social Security, 1:16-cv-00777-SAB, the

23 Court recognized that beginning around October 2016, the administrative records were often not
24 filed in OCR format in Social Security cases.

The Court issued an order requiring the

25 Commissioner of Social Security to file a copy of the administrative record in OCR format in
26 that action and verify that the transcripts in all actions pending before the undersigned have been
27 filed in the correct format. That order was to apply to all future social security cases before the
28 undersigned unless otherwise ordered.

On May 23, 2017, the Commissioner filed the administrative record in the instant case.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within seven (7) days from the date of

4

5 service of this order, the Commissioner shall file a copy of the administrative record in OCR
6 format in this action.
