Ortiz v. O’Malley, Comm’r of Soc. Sec.
Docket No.: 7:24-CV-07704-KMK-VR

Dear Magistrate Judge Reznik:
I represent the plaintiff, Efraim Ortiz, in connection with the above-referenced matter seeking
review of the Commissioner’s denial of Social Security benefits. The Commissioner is represented
by Jonathan King and, in his absence this week, Sergei Aden of the Office of General Counsel.
In accordance with Your Honor’s Individual Practice Rules, I write to request a four (4) day
extension of the motion briefing schedule in this matter, which would result in the following
changes:
Current Deadline

New Deadline

Plaintiff’s to Serve/File Motion

March 10, 2025

March 14, 2025

Defendant to Serve/File
Opposition

May 9, 2025

May 15, 2025

Plaintiff to Serve/File Reply

May 23, 2025

May 23, 2025

I note that the due date for my Reply Brief is unchanged.
I make this request because I had missed a full week of work due to a stomach virus (from
February 11-17), and this past week, I had to move my office to a new location. These two (2) factors
proved extremely disruptive, and will prevent me from completing my brief by the current deadline.
I have consulted with Mr. King, and he consents to this request. The parties had previously
requested a modified briefing schedule, and that request was granted.
