Re: Cuspert v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec., No. 20 Civ. 10583 (SLC)
Dear Judge Cave:
This Office represents the Commissioner of Social Security (the “Commissioner”),
the defendant in the above-referenced action brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), in which the
plaintiff appeals the Commissioner’s decision to deny his application for Social Security disability
benefits.
I respectfully write to request, with the plaintiff’s consent, a 60-day extension of
time for the Commissioner to file the certified administrative record in this case, from April 29,
2021, to June 28, 2021. The extension is needed because of delays in preparing the certified
administrative record due to temporary workplace changes implemented by the Social Security
Administration in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These changes have significantly
impacted the operations of the Social Security Administration’s Office of Appellate Operations
and materially affected its ability to prepare certified administrative records and to obtain
transcriptions of hearing recordings from private contractors.
The plaintiff consents to this request for an extension, and this is the first request
for an extension of time in in this case. I thank the Court for its consideration of this request.
Respectfully,
AUDREY STRAUSS
United States Attorney
