Defendant Nancy A. Berryhill, Acting Commissioner of Social Security (“Defendant”)
respectfully requests a 30-day extension of time, from December 18, 2017 to January 17, 2018 for
Defendant to answer the complaint and submit the certified administrative record (CAR) in the abovecaptioned case.
This is Defendant’s first request for an extension of time. Defendant respectfully submits that
the requested extension is necessary to allow the Commissioner to prepare the CAR for submission to
this Court and parties in this action. It has taken longer than anticipated to prepare the CAR despite
the Commissioner’s diligent efforts to have it ready in time. This request is made in good faith with
no intention to unduly delay the proceedings.
Counsel for Defendant conferred via email with Plaintiff’s counsel, who indicated on
December 14, 2017 that Plaintiff does not oppose this motion or the requested extension.
