____________________________________)

On May 22, 2009, Plaintiff filed the present action for judicial review of the denial of her

Social Security benefits. On February 1, 2010, the Court issued an order to show cause why

sanctions should not be imposed for Plaintiff’s failure to file an opening brief by January 18, 2010.

On February 4, 2010, Plaintiff and Defendant filed a joint request that Plaintiff be given thirty

days to file her opening brief. Plaintiff contends that her opening brief was not filed because

Defendant had not timely responded to her confidential letter brief. The parties request that Plaintiff

be given until March 8, 2010 to file her opening brief.

Based on the foregoing, it appears that Plaintiff’s failure to file an opening brief was

inadvertent. Accordingly, the order to show cause is hereby DISCHARGED. The parties’ request

for an extension of time is GRANTED. Plaintiff shall serve her opening brief no later than March 8,
