Case No.: 2:19-cv-02417-KJN

STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR 

EXTENSION OF TIME FOR DEFENDANT 

TO FILE ANSWER AND SERVE COPY OF 

THE CERTIFIED ADMINISTRATIVE 

RECORD

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

counsel of record, that Defendant shall have an extension of time of 30 days to file his answer and 

a serve a complete copy of the certified administrative record of the administrative proceedings, 

to be continued from February 10, 2020, to March 11, 2020. 

This is the first continuance sought by Defendant. There is good cause for this request. 

Defendant requests the continuance due to the fact that the Social Security Administration’s 

records component needs additional time to produce a copy of the certified administrative record 

to be utilized by all parties in this suit. The Social Security Administration’s records component 

receives an extensive volume of requests for records nationally. For example in the last fiscal year,
