Case No.: 1:19-00513-EPG

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

EXTEND BRIEFING SCHEDULE

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the parties, through their undersigned attorneys, to 

extend Defendant’s time to file his response to Plaintiff’s opening brief with the Court by 30

days to March 19, 2020, and that all other scheduling dates set forth in the Court’s Case 

Management Order shall be extended accordingly. This is Defendant’s first request for an 

extension of time in this matter and he requests it in good faith and without any intent to prolong 

proceedings unduly. 

There is good cause for this extension request because counsel for Defendant is 

responsible for performing a range of tasks that preclude drafting the Commissioner’s response 

to Plaintiff’s opening brief by February 18, 2020, such as: drafting an answering brief in two

Social Security cases pending before the Ninth Circuit; drafting briefs in Social Security cases 

before the district courts within the Ninth Circuit; and negotiating (or litigating) attorney fee 

matters under the Equal Access to Justice Act before the Ninth Circuit and district courts within 

the Ninth Circuit. Additionally, counsel for Defendant is relocating to Chicago, Illinois in

Defendant apologizes to Plaintiff and the Court for any inconvenience caused by this delay.
