CIVIL NO. 2:09-CV-00112 EFB

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 30 days to respond to

Plaintiff’s Opening Brief up to and including May 21, 2010. This extension is being sought because,

while drafting the Commissioner’s response to Plaintiff’s Opening Brief, the undersigned counsel for

the Commissioner realized that she must attempt to voluntarily remand this matter. The process of

seeking voluntary remand requires further consultation with her client and cannot be accomplished

within the time granted by this Court on March 23, 2010. Counsel regrets that she did not discover this

fact earlier. Thirty days are necessary because Counsel will be out of the office from April 26 through

May 7, 2010 and must complete and file 4 other briefs prior to her departure.
