Brief was filed on January 20, 2020, Plaintiff has been reassigned additional cases to cover for 

colleagues who are out on extended leave, as well as two Ninth Circuit appeals. Counsel is also 

responsible for other substantive non-litigation matters in the Office of General Counsel. 

Additional time is required to review the record, to evaluate the issues raised in Plaintiff’s 

brief, to determine whether options exist for settlement, and if not, to prepare Defendant’s 

response to Plaintiff’s motion. Defendant’s counsel will endeavor to complete these tasks as 

soon as possible. This request is made in good faith and with no intention to unduly delay the 

proceedings, and counsel apologizes for any inconvenience. 

Plaintiff does not oppose Defendant’s request for an extension of time. The parties 

further stipulate that the deadline for any reply by Plaintiff, if necessary, will be extended 

accordingly. 

 Respectfully submitted, 

Dated: January 5, 2020
