STIPULATION TO EXTEND 

BRIEFING SCHEDULE; ORDER

TO THE HONORABLE GARY S. AUSTIN, MAGISTRATE JUDGE OF

Plaintiff Evelyn D. Torrez (“Plaintiff”) and defendant Carolyn Colvin, 

Acting Commissioner of Social Security (“Defendant”), through their undersigned 

counsel of record, hereby stipulate, subject to the approval of the Court, to extend 

the time for Plaintiff to file Plaintiff’s Opening Brief to April 1, 2015; and that

A second extension of time is needed because Plaintiff’s Counsel’s Spouse 

undergoes chemotherapy treatment for her Stage IV breast cancer which 

metastasized initially to her liver and continues to progress there and in her lungs, 

throat, and spine which required recent hospitalization to treat. Counsel requires the 

additional time to file the opening brief to allow him to devote the appropriate time 

to assist his Spouse and his two elementary school aged children through this 

obviously stressful experience. Counsel sincerely apologizes to the court for any 

inconvenience this may have had upon it or its staff. This request is made at the 

request of Plaintiff’s counsel to allow additional time to fully research the issues 

presented.
