UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

HUBERT STIMSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-04425-JCS 

ORDER GRANTING EXTENSION OF 

TIME

Re: Dkt. No. 15

This appeal from a decision by the Commissioner of Social Security was filed on October 

2, 2014 and served on October 24, 2014. Defendant filed an answer on January 26, 2015. 

According to Civil Local Rule 16-5, Plaintiff was required to file a motion for summary judgment 

by March 5, 2015. Plaintiff, who is represented by counsel, has not done so. 

Accordingly, this Court issued an Order to Show Cause on October 28, 2015 requesting 

Plaintiff to explain why he failed to file the motion. In response to the Order, Plaintiff asserted

that the oversight was due to a clerical error. This excuse is weak, given the 8 months that have 

elapsed after the deadline established by this Court. Nonetheless, the Court will give Plaintiff one 

more chance to comply with the orders of the Court.

It is hereby ORDERED as follows:

1. Plaintiff is GRANTED an extension of time to serve and file a motion for summary 

judgment or for remand by December 13, 2015. The Court will not consider any 

further extensions of time. 

2. Defendant shall serve and file any opposition or counter-motion within twentyeight (28) days of service of Plaintiff’s motion. 

3. Plaintiff may serve and file a reply within fourteen (14) days of service of 

Defendant’s opposition or counter-motion.
