Case No.: 2:19-cv-01801-CKD 

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

WITHDRAW DEFENDANT’S MOTION 

TO DISMISS AND EXTEND 

DEFENDANT’S TIME TO FILE THE 

ANSWER AND CERTIFIED 

ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the parties, through their undersigned 

attorneys, to withdraw Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss, filed on February 6, 2020 

(Doc. No. 14), and extend Defendant’s time to file his answer to Plaintiff’s 

complaint and the certified administrative record by thirty-five (35) from February 

7, 2020, to March 13, 2020, and that all other scheduling dates set forth in the 

Court’s Case Management Order shall be extended accordingly. This is 

Defendant’s third request for an extension of time in this matter and he requests it 

in good faith and without any intent to prolong proceedings unduly. There is good 

Case 2:19-cv-01801-CKD Document 16 Filed 02/18/20 Page 1 of 2
cause for this extension because after filing the Motion to Dismiss, Defendant’

counsel learned from Plaintiff’s counsel that the declaration submitted with the 

Motion to Dismiss related to another case with the same name but different Social 

Security numbers. After consultation with the Appeals Council, the Council 

confirmed the error and agreed to the withdrawal of the Motion to Dismiss 

requesting additional time to prepare the transcript. Defendant apologizes to the 

Court, to Plaintiff and to Plaintiff’s counsel for any inconvenience this has caused.

Respectfully submitted, 

Dated: February 14, 2020 /s/ Shellie Lott
