CIVIL NO. 2:09-CV-00112 EFB

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND

TIME

The parties hereby stipulate by counsel, with the Court’s approval as indicated by issuance of the

attached Order, that Defendant shall have an extension of time of 30 days to respond to Plaintiff’s

Opening Brief up to and including April 21, 2010. This extension is being sought because the

undersigned counsel for the Commissioner has had a heavy work load over the past two months. In

February and March 2010, Counsel has or has had to file 14 district court briefs and a Ninth Circuit

attorney fees brief in addition to two Ninth Circuit mediation conferences and a Ninth Circuit oral

argument. Counsel has also recently and unexpectedly missed work due to illness and to a death in her

extended family.
