CIVIL NO. 1:07-CV-00314-LJO-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 a SECOND extension of time of 28 days to respond to

Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment up to and including March 21, 2008. 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 additional time to respond to

Plaintiff’s Opening Brief.
