Social Security Cases

Judge Fuentes adheres to the schedule set forth in Local Rule 16.4 for briefing Social Security cases. Briefs of more than fifteen (15) pages are not permitted, without leave of Court. Parties are encouraged to focus on discussing only the information from the record relevant to the specific grounds they assert for remand/reversal or affirmance. Parties are also encouraged to consider as early as practicable whether the case is suitable for voluntary remand.
