CIVIL NO. 2:07-CV-01822-KJM

STIPULATION AND 

ORDER TO EXTEND TIME

The parties hereby stipulate by counsel, with the Court’s approval as indicated by issuance of the

attached Order, that Defendant shall have a second extension of time of 14 days to respond to Plaintiff’s

motion for summary judgment, up to and including April 30, 2008. This request is due to an extremely

heavy work load occasioned, in part, by staffing shortages in the Commissioner’s regional office that

have resulted in many case transfers. For the month of April, counsel for the Commissioner has been

responsible for filings in 14 district court cases and settlement negotiations in a Ninth Circuit appeal.
