UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

LAWRENCE WILLIAM THOMPSON, 

JR., 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

KILOLO KIJAKAZI, 

Acting Commissioner of Social Security, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:22-cv-00687-AC 

STIPULATED MOTION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME TO 

RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF’S OPENING 

BRIEF 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties through their respective 

counsel of record, with the Court’s approval, that Defendant’s time for responding to Plaintiff’s 

Opening Brief be extended thirty-two days (32) days from October 17, 2022, to November 18, 

2022. This is Defendant’s first request for an extension. Counsel for Plaintiff has no objection to 

Defendant’s request for an extension. 

Good cause exists for this request. Defendant respectfully requests this additional time 

because Counsel for Defendant has and will be unable to devote the time required to complete its

response. Counsel for Defendant currently has five (5) merit briefs currently due in district court 

cases in the next seven (7) days and fifteen (15) merit briefs in the next thirty (30) days. Given 

this current workload and leave schedule an extension until November 18, 2022 should provide 

an opportunity for the undersigned Counsel for Defendant to prioritize completing the response to 

Plaintiff’s Opening Brief. Furthermore, a reassignment of this matter to another staff attorney is 

currently not tenable given the high volume of cases that all of our limited staff (due to leave and 

resignations) is handling. Counsel apologizes to the Court for any inconvenience caused by this 

delay. All other dates in the Court’s Scheduling Order shall be extended accordingly. 

 Respectfully submitted,
