Case No. 1:21-cv-00470-AWI-GSA

STIPULATION AND |PROPOSED|

ORDER FOR EXTENSION OF 

TIME

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

respective counsel of record, with the Court’s approval, that Plaintiff shall have a 

60-day extension of time, from September 12, 2022 to November 14, 2022, for 

Plaintiff to serve on defendant with Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment. All 

other dates in the Court’s Scheduling Order shall be extended accordingly.

This is Plaintiff’s second request for an extension of time. In the months of 

May through July 21, 2022, Counsel has received an influx of Social Security 

Certified Administrative Records (CAR). A review of the records received shows

Counsel has received at least 50 CARs, the majority of which were filed in June 

2022. This has caused an unusually large number of cases that have merit briefs 

due in the months of August and September. For the weeks of September 12, 2022 

and September 19, 2022, Counsel currently has 10 merit briefs, and several letter 

briefs and reply briefs. Additional time is needed to thoroughly brief this matter 

for the Court. 

Lastly, as previously reported, Counsel for Plaintiff underwent major 

orthopedic surgery in March 2022, requiring significant physical therapy. This has 

required Plaintiff’s counsel to take time off during the work week and work 

months since then. Although much improved, Counsel still participates in regular

physical therapy two to three times per week.

Defendant does not oppose the requested extension. Counsel apologizes to 

the Defendant and Court for any inconvenience this may cause.
