A final extension of time for plaintiff is needed in order to properly address 

the issues within the administrative record in this matter as well as the demands 

arising from complications related to Counsel Spouse’s terminal illness which has 

unexpectedly worsened in the last few weeks. Subsequent to a surgical procedure 

on July 6, 2016 to remove tumors in the spine/hip as a result of stage 4 breast 

cancer, Counsel’s spouse was not discharged until July 9, 2016 and then Counsel’s 

spouse was re-admitted to the hospital for 5 days on July 15, 2016 due to 

complications arising from the July 6th surgery. Counsel’s spouse was also 

admitted on August 1, 2016 and then discharged on August 5, 2016, to provide 

treatment for intractable pain related to the terminal illness. Upon discharge from 

the hospital Counsel’s spouse required less minimal assistance in the home due to 

ambulatory issues that were anticipated to grow worse. Unfortunately, due to a 

deterioration in her condition in the last few weeks, Counsel‘s spouse now requires 

in home medical assistance 15 hours a day. Counsel required the time to deal with 

this change in condition and has taken steps to secure the at home care which his 

spouse now requires in order to better allow him to attend to his professional 

obligations.
