Case No.: 1:19-CV-00628-GSA

STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR 

EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE 

DEFENDANT’S OPPOSITION TO 

PLAINTIFF’S OPENING BRIEF

It is hereby stipulated, by and between Doreen Blanchard (Plaintiff) and Andrew Saul, 

Acting Commissioner of Social Security (Defendant), by and through their respective counsel of 

record, that Defendant shall have an extension of thirty (30) days to file his Opposition to 

Plaintiff’s Opening Brief. The current due date is February 3, 2020. The new date will be 

March 4, 2020. Defendant requests this extension because the attorney responsible for briefing 

this case has a chronic health condition that requires her to take intermittent leave and is 

contending with an unusually heavy workload, including several Ninth Circuit cases. This 

request is made in good faith with no intention to unduly delay the proceedings. The
