STIPULATION TO EXTEND BRIEFING 

SCHEDULE

TO THE HONORABLE BARBARA A. MCAULIFFE, MAGISTRATE JUDGE OF 

THE DISTRICT COURT:

Plaintiff Alicia Marie Burt (“Plaintiff”) and defendant Nancy A. Berryhill, Acting 

Commissioner of Social Security (“Defendant”), through their undersigned counsel of record, 

hereby stipulate, pursuant to the Court’s Scheduling Order, to extend the time for Plaintiff to file 

Plaintiff’s Opening Brief to April 17, 2017; and that Defendant shall have until May 17, 2017, to 

file her opposition, if any is forthcoming. Any reply by plaintiff will be due June 1, 2017. 

As the Court is aware, after a 5 year battle with terminal stage 4 cancer Plaintiff’s Spouse 

passed away on September 30, 2016. The aftermath of this traumatic event on both Counsel and 

his 9 year old son and 7 year old daughter was immeasurable. Compounding the impact of this 

loss is the fact that Counsel’s spouse was a former employee at Counsel’s Law Firm and her death 

was far reaching in its impact on Counsel’s professional life as well. Due to the death, the

subsequent holiday period, and the need to find a permanent caregiver and the required time to 

acclimate his children to that presence during his absence to meet his professional obligations, 

Counsel requires the additional time to prepare and file Plaintiff’s Opening Brief.

Counsel for plaintiff does not anticipate this extraordinary request for more time to 

become the rule and recognizes it is the extraordinary exception and sincerely apologizes to the 

court for any inconvenience this may have had upon it or its staff.
