Re: Robert Wells v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec.
20 Civ. 10861 (LJL)
Dear Judge Liman:
Pursuant to the schedule in this Social Security case, the defendant’s brief was due in this
case by September 7, 2021. We write respectfully to request that the time to file the brief be
adjourned nunc pro tunc for six weeks, to October 19, 2021. The reason for this request is the
death of a family member two weeks ago, and the flooding of my home last week as a result of
hurricane Ida. We have attempted to obtain the consent of plaintiff, who is proceeding pro se, to
this proposed adjournment, but he did not consent, stating that he did not wish to delay this case
further. No prior adjournment of the date for the defendant’s brief has been requested, but two
adjournments of the time to file the administrative record were granted. We appreciate the
Court’s consideration of this request.
Respectfully,
AUDREY STRAUSS
United States Attorney
