Plaintiff,

ORDER

COMMISSIONER, SOCIAL SECURITY
ADMINISTRATION,
Defendant.

18

Plaintiff filed this Social Security case on August 11, 2021, seeking to proceed in forma

19

pauperis. ECF No. 1. On August 16, 2021, plaintiff was granted in forma pauperis status and

20

was informed that after service of the complaint, this action would be stayed pursuant to General

21

Order Number 615, and there would be no scheduling order or deadlines in effect pending further

22

order of the court. ECF No. 3. The order also indicated that within fourteen days, plaintiff must

23

submit to the United States Marshal a completed summons and copies of the complaint and to file

24

a statement with the court that said documents have been submitted to the United States Marshal.

25

Id. Consent/Decline forms were also issued, with a due date of November 18, 2021. ECF No. 5.

26

The court recognizes that the issuance of the stay and the requirement of service deadlines

27

and submitting Consent/Decline forms may appear contradictory. Nonetheless, in order to

28

efficiently move social security cases forward as stays are lifted, these deadlines must be met.
