UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ADAM J. NELSON,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:19-cv-01387-SAB

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S 

REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO 

SERVE SETTLEMENT BRIEF

(ECF No. 14)

On March 25, 2020, Plaintiff filed a request for an extension of thirty days to serve a 

settlement letter brief. (ECF No. 14.) Plaintiff requests an extension due to additional workload 

related to the recent coronavirus (COVID-19) public health event, as well as an unrelated illness. 

(ECF No. 14.) 

Pursuant to the filed request and finding good cause, the Court shall grant Plaintiff’s 

request for a thirty-day extension to file the settlement brief. The Court emphasizes that in the 

future, Plaintiff’s counsel may ask counsel for Defendant whether they would agree by way of a 

stipulation to any extensions of time, prior to filing a request with the Court. Counsel is directed 

to the scheduling order which states: 

The court will allow a single thirty (30) day extension of any part of this 

scheduling order by stipulation of the parties. Court approval is not required for 

this extension. However, the stipulation shall be filed with the court.

(ECF No. 8 at 4.)

 Plaintiff’s request states that the settlement letter is due March 26, 2020, however, based on the filing of the 

administrate record on February 26, 2020 (ECF No. 13), the settlement letter is actually due March 27, 2020. Thirty 

days after March 27, 2020 is April 26, 2020, a Sunday, and the Court will accordingly extend the deadline one day.
