Carolyn W. Colvin became the Acting Commissioner of Social Security on
February 14, 2013. Pursuant to Rule 25(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,
Carolyn W. Colvin should be substituted for Michael J. Astrue as the defendant in
this suit. No further action need be taken to continue this suit by reason of the last
sentence of section 205(g) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).

and that Defendant shall have until September 18, 2013, to file his opposition, if

2

any is forthcoming. Any reply by plaintiff will be due September 30, 2013.

3

An extension of time for plaintiff is needed due to a serious illness. The

4

spouse of the associate in Counsel's firm who this matter is assigned to receives

5

chemotherapy treatment for her Stage IV breast cancer which metastasized initially

6

to her liver and has now spread to her lungs and spine. Counsel requires the

7

additional time to file the Motion for Remand to allow the assigned attorney the

8

appropriate time to assist his Spouse and his two kindergarten and pre-school aged

9

children through this obviously stressful experience.

11

Counsel for defendant has indicated, via e-mail, that this motion to extend
the time to file is not opposed.
