respective counsel of record, with the Court’s approval, that Plaintiff shall have a 

60-day extension of time, from November 12, 2021 to January 11, 2022, for 

Plaintiff to serve on defendant with PLAINTIFF’S OPENING BRIEF. All other

district, and the three other California Districts, each of which require settlement 

negotiations or merit briefing. Counsel has a greater than usual number of merit 

briefs due in November and December 2021. Thus, Counsel is requesting an 

extension through January 11, 2021 to accommodate the number of cases due. For 

the week of November 8, 2021, Counsel has due, eight merit brief and several 

letter briefs and replies. In the short month of December 2021, Counsel has 20 

merit briefs scheduled due. In addition, Counsel also has seven administrative 

hearings before the Office of Hearings Operations during the week of November 8, 

2021. 

In additional, Counsel has received an increase in the number of AC denials 

which require a review for possible filing in US District Court. Lastly, Counsel 

has end of the year business reviews to conduct as the CEO of Peña & Bromberg, 

PC.

Due to the increase in certified administrative records being filed by 

defendant, Counsel for Plaintiff has a larger than usual number of briefs due for the 

months of November and December 2021. 

Compounding the issue of an increased number of merit briefs due, Counsel 

has preplanned vacation days for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. 

Counsel respectfully requests the Court granted the requested extension.

Counsel for the Plaintiff does not intend to further delay this matter. 

Defendant does not oppose the requested extension. Counsel apologizes to the 

Defendant and Court for any inconvenience this may cause. 

Respectfully submitted,
