______________________________)

I Donna Montano, am the undersigned Special Assistant United

States Attorney recently re-assigned to this case as agency counsel

for Michael J. Astrue. This case was re-assigned to me because

prior agency counsel, Sarah Ryan, was on extended medical leave. 

On January 28, 2008, this Court granted the parties stipulation 

for additional time to brief this case. In accordance with the

stipulation, Plaintiff, in pro se, filed his brief with the

assistance of his mother, Dina Taylor, on February 29, 2008. By

stipulation of the parties, Defendant’s response is due today. I

hereby request an additional 21 days, to and including April 21,

2008 to file Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s Brief. I am

requesting the extension for good cause. Specifically, I was unable

to complete my response by today because I was ill part of last

week, and because I was working on multiple other assignments before

that. In addition, I will be out of the office until April 7, 2008. 

Defendant is filing this motion, instead of a stipulation, because

the undersigned could not reach Plaintiff by telephone. The

undersigned apologizes for any inconvenience this has caused the

Court or Plaintiff. The extension is necessary in order to draft an

appropriate response to Plaintiff’s pro se brief.
