Civil No. 3:15-cv-05369 WHO

EX PARTE MOTION TO EXTEND 

TIME FOR DEFENDANT TO FILE 

HER COUNTER-MOTION FOR 

SUMMARY JUDGMENT

Defendant Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, requests to extend the 

time by two weeks, from April 25, 2016 to May 9, 2016 for the Commissioner to provide her CounterMotion For Summary Judgment, with all other dates in this Court’s Procedural Order For Social 

Security Review Actions extended accordingly. This is the Commissioner’s first request for an 

extension. The request is being made ex parte because counsel for the Defendant was unable to reach 

Plaintiff’s counsel via telephone or email in the hope of filing a stipulated motion.

Counsel makes this request in good faith. There is good cause for this request because the case 

was recently reassigned to new counsel for Defendant, who needs additional time to become familiar 

with the facts and the issues presented in the opening brief, as well as a quality review of the brief in 

accordance with our office procedures. There is also good cause for this extension because the 

undersigned counsel is currently responsible for dozens of district court cases at various stages of 

litigation, a Ninth Circuit Privacy Act case which is going to hearing on May 4, 2016, dozens of 

subpoena and disclosure matters, two representative sanction matters, as well as a Federal Tort Claim 

Act and other miscellaneous litigation cases in district court with current filing deadlines. As a result, 

the Commissioner needs additional time to properly address the issues raised in Plaintiff’s Motion For 

Summary Judgment. 

Respectfully submitted,
