Case No. 1:19-cv-01254-GSA

STIPULATION AND ORDER 

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties through their respective 

counsel of record, with the Court’s approval, that Plaintiff shall have a 45-day extension of time, 

from 02/21/2020 to 04/06/2020, for Plaintiff to serve on defendant with PLAINTIFF’S LETTER 

BRIEF. All other dates in the Court’s Scheduling Order shall be extended accordingly.

This is Plaintiff’s first request for an extension of time. Good cause exists. During the 

first week of March, Plaintiff’s Counsel has 21 administrative hearings scheduled. During the 

week of March 9, 2020 Plaintiff’s Counsel has 19 administrative hearings, and a federal court 

hearing. During the week of March 16, 2020, Plaintiff’s Counsel has 19 administrative hearings 

scheduled as well. During the week of March 23, 2020, Plaintiff’s Counsel has 12 hearings, and 

one federal court hearing. Plaintiff’s counsel also has many US District Court merit briefs due

 Andrew Saul is now the Commissioner of Social Security and is automatically substituted as a 

party pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 25(d). See also section 205(g) of the Social Security Act, 42 

U.S.C. § 405(g)(action survives regardless of any change in the person occupying the office of 

Commissioner of Social Security).

during this relevant period. As a result of centralized scheduling, and many of Counsel’s 

administrative cases being transferred to other Offices that hearing disability appeals, there have 

been an unusual number of hearings scheduled in the first quarter of 2020. Plaintiff’s Counsel is 

attempting to make adjustments by hiring new staff and new attorneys to assist him.

Plaintiff also apologizes that this request is made after the 2/21/2020 due date. As 

asserted above, Counsel has had an inordinate amount of administrative work these last few 

weeks. 

Additionally, Defense Counsel has a pre-planned vacation the last week of March, 

returning around April 6, 2020. Counsel requires additional time to brief the issues thoroughly 

for the Court’s consideration. Defendant does not oppose the requested extension. Counsel 

apologizes to the Defendant and Court for any inconvenience this may cause.
