IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DONALD GEORGE LINDEN,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-04-2696 FCD GGH PS

vs.

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION; ORDER

JO ANNE B. BARNHART, Commissioner, 

Defendant.

 /

On October 23, 2006, plaintiff filed a request for extension of time to file an

appeal from the order and judgment entered in this case on September 7, 2006. Plaintiff states

that he had back surgery on September 20, 2006, which requires a three-to-six month period of

recuperation, and seeks a 60-day extension of the deadline for filing notice of his appeal. 

Plaintiff has submitted supporting documentation.

Where, as here, an agency of the United States is a party to the action, Fed. Rule

App. Proc. 4(a)(1) (B) requires that a notice of appeal be filed within 60 days after entry of the

judgment or order appealed from. Fed. Rule App. Proc. 5(A) provides that a district court may

extend the time to file a notice of appeal if the motion is made no later than 30 days after the time

prescribed by Rule 4(a), and the moving party demonstrates excusable neglect or good cause.

The unextended deadline for filing a notice of appeal in this action is November 6,

2006. Plaintiff has made a timely request and demonstrated good cause for extending that

deadline by 60 days, or until January 5, 2007. Accordingly, plaintiff’s October 23, 2006, request

to extend the deadline for filing a notice of appeal in this action IS HEREBY GRANTED and

such deadline is extended to January 5, 2007.

So ordered.

DATED: 11/2/06 /s/ Gregory G. Hollows
