Counsel's autoimmune-compromised mother, for whom she is a caretaker, 

has fallen ill due to a significant lupus flare, requiring additional medical care. 

Consequently, counsel has had to take the last two weeks off to attend to her 

mother's medical needs. 

The parties request that the briefing schedule be modified as follows: 

Plaintiff will file his Motion for Summary Judgment by July 24, 2024. Defendant 

will file his Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment by August 23, 2024. Plaintiff 

may file any optional reply within 14 days of the service of the Commissioner’s 

Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment. The parties make this request in good faith 

with no intention to unduly delay the proceedings.
