ORDER

The aforementioned stipulation is ADOPTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. 

Plaintiff fails to acknowledge the fact her opening brief was to be filed with this Court no

later than June 15, 2010 (3/12/10 + 95 = 6/15/10). Nonetheless, Plaintiff seeks an extension of time

within which to file a confidential letter brief, and, if necessary, her opening brief, through and

including September 28, 2010. 

This Court has the inherent power to manage its own docket. Plaintiff’s request is untimely

by thirteen (13) days. Plaintiff is reminded that belated and/or untimely requests for extensions of

time are disfavored. See Local Rule 144(d). 

In light of the foregoing, Plaintiff SHALL serve her confidential letter brief no later than

July 12, 2010. Defendant shall respond no later than July 26, 2010. In the event Defendant

does not stipulate to remand, Plaintiff shall file her opening brief no later than August 25,

2010. Thereafter, Defendant shall have thirty days within which to file an opposition or responsive

brief, and Plaintiff may file a reply fifteen days thereafter.

No further extensions of time will be entertained absent a showing of good cause.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: June 28, 2010 /s/ Gary S. Austin
