IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties, through their respective 

counsel of record, that Defendant shall have an extension of time of an additional 30 days to 

respond to Plaintiff’s opening brief. This is the first continuance sought by Defendant. The 

current due date is August 6, 2015. The new due date will be September 8, 2015 (Monday, 

September 7, 2015 is a federal holiday).

fully review the administrative record and research the issues presented by Plaintiff’s opening 

brief.

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

accordingly.
