Case No. 1:14-cv-00080 AWI/SAB

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

EXTEND TIME TO RESPOND

TO COMPLAINT AND

CONTINUE SCHEDULING

CONFERENCE

Plaintiff Saundra Duffy-Hawkins (“Plaintiff”), and Defendant Eric K. Shinseki, Secretary, 

Department of Veterans Affairs (“Defendant”), stipulate, by and through the undersigned counsel, to 

extend the deadline for Defendant to respond to the complaint to and including April 23, 2014.

The parties further agree to continue the date of the scheduling conference currently set for April 

22, 2014 at 9:30 a.m. before Magistrate Judge Stanley A. Boone to June 10, 2014 at 2:30 p.m. 

The parties base this stipulation on good cause, which includes the need for Defendant to review 

the allegations in the Complaint and respond accordingly. Plaintiff’s counsel also needs time to 

complete the pro hac vice application procedures. The parties agree that this short extension of the time 

for Plaintiff’s counsel to complete pro hac vice procedures and the Defendant to respond will not cause 

any prejudice to the parties as this action was recently commenced.
