Case No. C 05-04696 WHA 

STIPULATION UNDER CIVIL LOCAL 

RULE 6-2 TO SHORTEN TIME FOR 

HEARING ON DEFENDANTS’ MOTION 

TO AMEND ORDER AMENDING 

COMPLAINCE SCHEDULE 

Date: April 8, 2010 

Time: 8:00 a.m. 

Courtroom: 9, 19th Floor 

Judge: Hon. William H. Alsup 

WHEREAS, on this day, Defendants filed a Notice of Motion and Motion to Amend Order 

Amending Compliance Schedule (Dkt. No. 368); 

WHEREAS Civil Local Rule 7-2(a) requires the motion to be noticed for hearing not less than 35 

days after service of the motion; 

ACCORDINGLY, Plaintiffs American Council of the Blind, et al., and Defendants Michael Astrue 

and the Social Security Administration, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, hereby STIPULATE to 

shortening the time under Civil Local Rule 7-2(a) for the hearing on the parties’ Motion on the following 

grounds:

Stipulation to Shorten Time for Hearing on 

Defendants’ Motion to Amend Order Amending 

Compliance Schedule 

Case No. C 05-04696 WHA 

1. Defendants’ Motion seeks relief from a compliance deadline currently set for April 15, 

2010, and the standard 35-day notice period would require Defendants’ Motion to be 

noticed for hearing on April 29, 2010. 

2. The standard 35-day notice period is unnecessary in this instance because the parties 

also agree to submit any subsequent briefing on Defendants’ Motion on an expedited 

schedule. 

3. Shortening the time to hear the parties’ Motion alone will have no effect on other 

deadlines in this case. 

4. Justice and efficiency would be best served by having the parties’ Motion noticed and 

heard on an expedited schedule, i.e., on April 8, 2010, at 8:00 a.m., with Plaintiffs’ 

opposition to the motion, if any, due on April 1, 2010, and Defendants’ reply, if any, 

due on April 5, 2010.
