Re:
Mason v. Commissioner of Social Security
Civil Action No: 1:20-cv-07648-SDA
Dear Judge Aaron:
This letter respectfully requests an extension of time of sixty (60) days for Plaintiff to file
her Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings in this matter. Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the
Pleadings is currently due on July 22, 2021. Due to the backlog of transcripts created by
COVID-19 and the Commissioner’s response, the Commissioner is able to produce records at a
rapid pace. As a result, this has caused multiple, simultaneous filing deadlines that cannot be
met. Plaintiff cannot meet the current briefing deadline. This extension is needed to thoroughly
and properly prepare her Motion.
Plaintiff’s counsel has contacted defense counsel who consents to this request. This
would be a first request to extend the time to file Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the
Pleadings.
If this request is granted, Plaintiff’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings will be due on
September 20, 20211. Subsequently, in accordance with the pattern of the Scheduling Order, the
Commissioner’s Response would then be due November 19, 2021. Plaintiff’s Reply would then
be due December 10, 2021.
Thank you for your consideration.

Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Howard D. Olinsky
