UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On March 23, 2015, the parties stipulated for Defendant to have an extension of time to file a 

response to Plaintiff’s opening brief. (Doc. 21). Notably, the Scheduling Order permits only a single 

thirty-day extension by the stipulation of parties (Doc. 7 at 4), which was used by the plaintiff to 

obtain additional time to prepare the opening brief. (Docs. 18-19.) Beyond the single thirty-day 

extension, “requests to modify [the scheduling] order must be made by written motion and will be 

granted only for good cause.” (Doc. 7 at 4.) Therefore, the Court construes the stipulation of the 

parties to be a motion by Defendant for modification of the Court’s Scheduling Order.

Here, Defendant’s counsel requests the extension due to “a heavy workload” following his 

return to work after a vacation. (Doc. 21 at 1.) The Court will grant Defendant’s request for a further 

extension of time because Plaintiff does not oppose the request. However, the parties are cautioned that 

no further extensions of time will be granted without a showing of good cause.

ROBERT ZAMORA,

 Plaintiff,

CAROLYN COLVIN, 

Acting Commissioner of Social Security, 

Defendant.
