CIVIL NO. 1:06-CV-01626-AWI-DLB

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND

TIME

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

attached Order, that Defendant shall have an extension of time to respond to Plaintiff’s motion for

summary judgment. The Commissioner’s regional office currently has three full-time attorneys on

extended leave for medical, professional and military purposes, which has resulted in a significantly

increased workload for the undersigned Assistant United States Attorney. In the months of January and

February, she has had 16 briefs due in district courts and an appellate brief due in the Ninth Circuit. 

Counsel has also had to prepare for a Ninth Circuit oral argument, and prepare an appeal

recommendation, which involves very short and uncontrollable due dates. As a result of this work load,

counsel needs an additional three days to respond to Plaintiff’s Opening Brief. The current due date was

February 22, 2008, the new due date will be February 25, 2008.
