CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER (Social Security Case)

FREDERICK F. MUMM, Magistrate Judge.

In accordance with Local Rule 5-4, this case is designated for electronic filing. Counsel shall electronically file all documents by 4:00 pm on or before the due date. Courtesy copies of all electronically filed documents, with the Notice of Electronic Filing attached, shall either (a) be delivered to the Magistrate Judge's Chambers no later than 4:00 pm on the next court day, or (b) shall be mailed to Magistrate Judge Frederick F. Mumm at United States Courthouse, 255 East Temple Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012 no later than the next court day.

The pro se plaintiff may file documents by mailing them to the Court or presenting them to the filing window for filing. In either case, conformed copies of the filed document should be mailed or delivered to the chambers of Magistrate Judge Frederick F. Mumm.

In order to facilitate the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of this case, the parties shall comply with the following instructions:

I.

Plaintiff shall promptly serve the Summons and Complaint on defendant (on the United States Attorney, or his or her authorized agent, by certified or registered mail, or in the alternative, personally at Room 7516, Federal Building, 300 North Los Angeles Street, Los Angeles, California 90012, and by certified or registered mail on the Commissioner of the Social Security Administration and the Attorney General, as required by law), and shall file a proof of such service within thirty (30) days of the date of this Order. Failure to comply with this aspect of this

Order may result in the issuance of an Order to Show Cause Re Dismissal for Failure to Prosecute.

II.

Because of the large volume of social security benefit cases subjected to judicial review, the defendant usually seeks an extension of time within which to plead to the complaint. In order to eliminate the burden of preparing and responding to an application for extension of time, IT IS ORDERED that defendant's time to plead to the complaint is extended such that defendant's pleading must be filed within one hundred and twenty (120) days of service of the complaint. Defendant shall file a transcript of the administrative proceedings at the same time that defendant pleads to the complaint. A paper copy of the transcript of the administrative proceedings must be submitted directly to chambers within 24 hours of the time defendant pleads to the complaint.

III.

Because cases of this nature are almost invariably resolved by motion for summary judgment or remand, pre-trial proceedings are ordered waived.

IV.

Within thirty (30) days of the filing of defendant's answer, the plaintiff shall file a motion for summary judgment or remand.

V.

Within thirty (30) days of the filing of plaintiff's motion for summary judgment or remand, defendant shall file a motion for summary judgment or remand.

VI.

No papers filed in support of or in opposition to any motion for summary judgment shall exceed ten (10) pages in length.

VII.

Local Rule 56 is inapplicable to this case. The parties need not comply with the requirements of that Rule.

VIII.

If either party believes that the case cannot be resolved by motion, such party shall so advise the Court and the opposing party in writing.

IX.

The Court will take the motions under submission without oral argument, unless the Court otherwise orders.

X.

The Clerk shall serve a copy of this Order, by United States mail, on the Plaintiff and on the United States Attorney for the Central District of California.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
