STIPULATION TO EXTEND 

BRIEFING SCHEDULE; ORDER 

THEREON

TO THE HONORABLE SHEILA K. OBERTO, MAGISTRATE JUDGE 

OF THE DISTRICT COURT:

Plaintiff Roberto Muniz Vasquez (“Plaintiff”) and defendant Carolyn 

Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security (“Defendant”), through their 

undersigned counsel of record, hereby stipulate, to extend the time for Plaintiff to 

file Plaintiff’s Opening Brief to August 20, 2014; and that Defendant shall have 

until September 19, 2014, to file her opposition, if any is forthcoming. Any reply 

by plaintiff will be due September 25, 2014. 

An extension of time is needed because Plaintiff’s Counsel’s Spouse receives 

weekly chemotherapy treatment for her Stage IV breast cancer which metastasized 

initially to her liver and continues to progress there and in her lungs, throat, and 

spine. Counsel requires the additional time to file the Opening Brief to allow him to 

devote the appropriate time to assist his Spouse and his two elementary school aged
