Case No.: 1:19-cv-00492-EPG

JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR 

EXTENSION OF TIME TO RESPOND TO 

PLAINTIFF’S OPENING BRIEF

(ECF No. 22)

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by the parties, through their respective counsel of record, 

that the time for Defendant to respond to Plaintiff’s Opening Brief be extended from April 16, 

2020 to April 23, 2020. This is Defendant’s fourth request for extension. Good cause exists to 

grant Defendant’s request for extension due to continued illness of Counsel. In addition, 

Counsel also has over 100+ active social security matters, which require two more dispositive 

motions until mid-May. Due to unanticipated leave, shortened staff, and heavy caseload, 

Counsel needs additional time to adequately review the transcript and properly respond to 

Plaintiff’s Opening Brief. 

The parties further stipulate that the Court’s Scheduling Order shall be modified 

accordingly. Defendant makes this request in good faith with no intention to unduly delay the

reasonably practicable, as Counsel has been out of the office.
