Pending the Court’s approval, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the 

parties, through their respective counsel of record, that the time for Defendant to respond to 

Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 10) be extended thirty (30) days from 

January 16, 2025, up to and including February 18, 2025. This is the Defendant’s first request for

Plaintiff’s motion. Due to an unexpected increase in cases in my office, this case was recently 

reassigned to on January 6, 2025. Additionally, I have had several briefs due in recent days in 

other district courts. In the next month, I have eight more briefs due in various district courts of 

the Ninth Circuit, including this one. Accordingly, I ask the Court for more time so that I can 

properly represent the Commissioner in this and my other matters. 

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

accordingly. 

DATED January 14, 2025
