UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAVID GROM, 

Plaintiff,

v.

ANDREW SAUL,

Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:18-cv-01361-SKO

ORDER GRANTING STIPULATED 

EXTENSION OF TIME

(Doc. 19)

The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff’s “Stipulated Extension of Time.” (Doc. 19.) Pursuant 

to the Court’s minute order (Doc. 18), Plaintiff’s Opening Brief was due January 13, 2020, the same 

day on which Plaintiff filed the present request for extension.

Requests for extension are governed by Rule 144 of the Local Rules of the United States 

District Court, Eastern District of California (“Local Rules”). Local Rule 144(d) explains that 

“[r]equests for Court-approved extensions brought on the required filing date for the pleading or 

other document are looked upon with disfavor.” The parties are hereby ADMONISHED that any 

future requests for extensions of time shall be brought in advance of the required filing date and be 

supported by good cause under Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4). However, given counsel’s representations 

regarding her health problems (see Doc. 19 at 1), and the fact that Defendant consents to the request, 

the Court GRANTS the request for an extension.
