On January 14, 2015, Plaintiff filed this action. ECF No. 1. On the same day, the Clerk of
the Court issued a Procedural Order for Social Security Review Actions, the standard procedural
order in cases like this one. ECF No. 4. The order required Defendant to “serve and file an
answer, together with a certified copy of the transcript of the administrative record, within 90 days
of receipt of service of the summons and complaint.” Id.

On February 5, 2015, Plaintiff filed an “Acknowledgment of Service” form, which shows
that Defendant was prior to that date. ECF No. 9. Pursuant to the ninety-day deadline set forth in
the Procedural Order for Social Security Review Actions, and assuming that service was effective
on or before February 5, 2015, Defendant should have filed its answer and a certified copy of the
administrative record by May 6, 2015. Defendant has not done so.
