ORDER

BRIAN K. EPPS, Magistrate Judge.

Presently before the Court is a motion filed by Plaintiff titled "motion for seponea [sic]" in which Plaintiff lists the addresses of different doctors and his former lawyer at the administrative level. (Doc. no. 22.) Under a standing order in the Southern District, pro se litigants must explain, ex parte, in writing to the Court the necessity of the subpoena. In re Subpoenas, MC 496-006, doc. no. 1 (S.D. Ga. Jan. 16, 1996). Plaintiff's motion does not explain the necessity for the subpoenas but rather simply lists addresses. Furthermore, review of a decision by the Commissioner of Social Security is usually solely based upon the transcript of the record and the pleadings. See 42 U.S.C. § 402(g). Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiff's "motion for seponea [sic]." (Doc. no. 22.)

SO ORDERED.
