ORDER
JULIET GRIFFIN, Magistrate Judge.
This action was filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). The Commissioner has responded by filing an answer (Docket Entry No. 3) on June 19, 2012.
The plaintiff shall have thirty (30) days from entry of this order to file a motion for judgment on the record and accompanying memorandum, which shall include the following:1
(a) Statement of the Case. This statement shall briefly outline the course of proceedings and disposition at the administrative level. The statement shall set forth a statement of relevant facts including plaintiff's age, education, work experience, a summary of the physical and/or mental impairments alleged by plaintiff, and an outline of the pertinent factual, medical, and vocational evidence in the record. Each statement of fact should be supported by reference to the page(s) in the record where the evidence is located.
(b) Statement of Errors. This statement should set forth, in separately numbered paragraphs, the specific errors allegedly committed at the administrative level which entitle the plaintiff to relief. The court will consider only those errors specifically identified in the briefs. A general allegation that the ALJ's findings are unsupported by substantial evidence is insufficient.
Each specific error alleged should be supported by reference to the portion of the record relied upon and by citations of statutes, regulations, and cases supporting the plaintiff's position.
Relevant cases from this district and circuit should be cited. If authority on point from this jurisdiction does not exist, cases from other districts and circuits may be cited.
The plaintiff's memorandum should conclude with a short statement of the relief sought. Specifically, the brief should state whether the plaintiff seeks (1) reversal; (2) remand; or (3) reversal or, in the alternative, remand.2
The defendant shall, within thirty (30) days of the filing of the plaintiff's motion, file a response. The defendant shall respond SPECIFICALLY to each issue raised by the plaintiff. The defendant shall also support its response by reference to the portion of the record relied upon and by citations of statutes, regulations, and cases supporting the defendant's position.
Defendant should include a "statement of the case," only to the extent defendant contends plaintiff's statement is inaccurate or incomplete.
The plaintiff shall have 14 days from the filing of the response to file a reply if necessary.
It is so ORDERED.
