CIVIL NO. 2:07-CV-01038-EFB

STIPULATION AND ORDER

The parties hereby stipulate by counsel, with the Court’s approval as indicated by issuance of the

attached Order, that Defendant shall have a first extension of time of 30 days, up to and including April

17, 2008, to oppose plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment. This request is due to an extremely heavy

work load occasioned, in part, by staffing shortages in the Commissioner’s regional office. From

December through the middle of February, three-to-four full time attorneys had been on extended leave

for medical, professional, bereavement and military purposes, which has resulted in many case

reassignments and additional work for the attorneys in the office. 

The parties further stipulate that the Court’s Scheduling Order shall be modified accordingly.
