UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
OCALA DIVISION
CARLOS JAVIER ROSADO,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No: 5:20-cv-368-Oc-18PRL

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL
SECURITY,
Defendant.

ORDER
This case is before the Court on the Commissioner’s motion to stay the case for ninety
days, or until the Social Security Agency (“SSA”) regains the capacity to produce the certified
transcript of the record necessary for this case. (Doc. 12). Due to the global COVID-19 crisis, the
SSA has transitioned to a maximum telework environment which prevented it from adhering to its
business process for preparing the transcript of the record in many cases. Additionally, the
complaints filed in SSA cases have increased, which has resulted in a backlog of work, making it
difficult for the agency to process the transcripts in a timely manner.
The Commissioner’s motion recites that Plaintiff objects to the motion to stay. Plaintiff,
however, has not filed any written response to the motion setting forth objections and the time for
responding has expired. Accordingly, the Commissioner’s opposed motion to stay (Doc. 12) is
GRANTED. The Commissioner shall file an answer and the transcript of the record for this case
within 90 days.
