Case No. 1:15-cv-0310-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 her response to Plaintiff’s opening brief by 35 days to March 2, 

2016, and that all other scheduling dates set forth in the Court’s Case Management Order shall 

be extended accordingly. This is Defendant’s second request for an extension of time in this 

matter.1 

 

1

The Commissioner first sought an extension in this case because the Social Security 

Administration’s Office of Disability Adjudication and Review was unable to prepare a complete 

certified administrative record.

There is good cause for this extension because counsel for Defendant requires additional 

time to properly consider and research the issues presented in Plaintiff’s opening brief. 

Furthermore, additional time is required because counsel for Defendant is responsible for 

drafting various pleadings before the district courts within the Ninth Circuit, negotiating or 

litigating attorney fee matters pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act, and conducting 

discovery in a personnel-related litigation matter pending before the Equal Employment 

Opportunity Commission.

Counsel for Defendant apologizes to the Court for any inconvenience caused by this 

delay.
