UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRESNO DIVISION

LINDA MARIA PACHECO,

Plaintiff,

v.

KILOLO KIJAKAZI,

Acting Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant.1

No. 1:21-cv-00110-JLT-BAM

STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR EXTENSION 

TO FILE DEFENDANT’S OPPOSITION TO 

PLAINTIFF’S OPENING BRIEF

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between Linda Pacheco (Plaintiff) and Kilolo 

Kijakazi, Acting Commissioner of Social Security (Defendant), by and through their respective 

counsel of record, that, with the Court’s approval, Defendant shall have an extension of time of 

sixty (60) days to file a Response to Plaintiff’s Opening Brief. This is Defendant’s first request 

1 Kilolo Kijakazi became the Acting Commissioner of Social Security on July 9, 2021. Pursuant 

to Rule 25(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Kilolo Kijakazi should be substituted, 

therefore, for Andrew Saul as the defendant in this suit. No further action need be taken to 

continue this suit by reason of the last sentence of section 205(g) of the Social Security Act, 42 

U.S.C. § 405(g).

for an extension on her Response to Plaintiff’s Opening Brief. The current due date is February 

17, 2022. The new date will be April 18, 2022. All other deadlines will extend accordingly.

Good cause exists for this request. Defendant’s counsel has worked diligently to meet the 

timelines provided by the Court but has been prevented from doing so by her busy schedule. 

Defendant’s counsel has seventy-one other active cases in various stages of litigation and 26

responsive briefs due in the next 60 days including one Ninth Circuit answering brief. 

Additionally, Defendant’s counsel has other responsibilities with another practice group in her 

office where the work cannot be extended. Defendant requests this extension in good faith, and 

with no intent to delay these proceedings unnecessarily. Defendant apologizes to the Court for 

any inconvenience caused by this delay.

Respectfully submitted,
