STIPULATED REQUEST TO

EXTEND TIME FOR DEFENDANT 

TO FILE HER OPPOSITION TO THE 

OPENING BRIEF; ORDER

Defendant Carolyn W. Colvin, Acting Commissioner of Social Security, requests to extend the 

time by 29 days, from July 14, 2016 to August 12, 2016 for the Commissioner to provide her 

Opposition to Plaintiff’s Opening Brief, with all other dates extended accordingly. This is the 

Commissioner’s first request for an extension.

Counsel makes this request in good faith. There is good cause for this request because the case 

was recently reassigned to new counsel for Defendant, who needs additional time to become familiar

with the facts and the issues presented in the Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment. Counsel is 

new to the office and must also undergo detailed quality review of the brief in accordance with the 

Commissioner’s regional office procedures. As a result, the Commissioner requests 29 days of 

additional time to properly address the issues Plaintiff has raised. Plaintiff’s counsel has no objection.
