Case No.: 3:18-cv-07036-WHO

JOINT STIPULATION AND 

[PROPOSED] ORDER FOR EXTENSION 

OF TIME FOR DEFENDANT TO 

RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION 

FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by the parties, through their respective counsel of record 

that the time for responding to Plaintiff’s Motion Summary Judgment be extended from August 

14, 2019 to August 23, 2019. This is Defendant’s third request for extension. Good cause exists 

to grant Defendant’s request for extension. Counsel has been out of the office on intermittent 

leave following chronic migraines, which impair her vision, including the last two weeks. In 

addition, Counsel also has over 100+ active social security matters, which require two or more 

dispositive motions per week until the mid-September, as well as three pending Ninth Circuit 

matters, which require several levels of review. Due to heavy caseload and unexpected leave, 

Counsel fell behind on her work and needs additional time to adequately review the transcript 

and properly respond to Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment. The parties further stipulate

that the Court’s Scheduling Order shall be modified accordingly. Defendant makes this request 

in good faith with no intention to unduly delay the proceedings. Counsel apologizes for the 

belated request, but made her request as soon as reasonably practicable, as she also has been out 

of the office.
