MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Before the court is Plaintiff’s “Response” (Doc. 44) to the court’s January 8, 2026,
Memorandum and Order affirming the Commissioner’s final decision in Plaintiff’s case
as it relates to past due benefits. (Doc. 42). In his Response (deemed a Motion for an
Order), Plaintiff alleges the agency has instructed his representative payee not to provide
Plaintiff with any proceeds of his previously paid past due benefits while he remains
confined. (Doc. 44). Plaintiff asks the court to order his representative payee to send
him money for hygiene, stamps, food and other incidentals, and to order the Social
Security Administration to tell the representative payee to allow him access to money
from his bank account. Id. 2.
Plaintiff’s representative payee was not a party to Plaintiff’s claim for judicial
review in this case and access to past due benefits already in the hands of the
Case 5:25-cv-04031-JWL Document 45 Filed 02/11/26 Page 1 of 2

representative payee was not an issue presented to the court in either Plaintiff’s
Complaint or Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint. Therefore, it is too late to implead another
defendant or to raise additional issues after the case has been litigated and judgment has
been entered. This case is over, and the matter is closed.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Plaintiff’s Motion for an Order
(“Response,” Doc. 44) is DENIED.
Dated February 11, 2026, at Kansas City, Kansas.
