Case No. 3:18-cv-03098-EDL 

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER FOR AN EXTENSION OF TIME 

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

counsel of record, with the Court’s approval, that Defendant shall have a 21-day extension of 

time, from December 13, 2018 to January 3, 2019, for Defendant to respond to Plaintiff’s Motion 

for Summary Judgment (Dkt. No. 18).

This is Defendant’s first request for an extension of time. Defendant submits that good 

cause exists for this extension because the parties have recently engaged in settlement 

discussions and could not agree on the issue of remedy. Defendant anticipates filing a Motion 

for Remand, which will significantly reduce the number of issues that this Court will need to 

resolve and will largely focus on whether this matter should be remanded for further proceedings 

or an award of benefits. The requested extension will also help accommodate Defendant’s 

counsel’s workload, which includes a Ninth Circuit answering brief, numerous other district 

court cases, and other substantive non-litigation matters within the Office of General Counsel. 

Defendant’s counsel will endeavor to complete the response as soon as possible. This request is 

made in good faith and with no intention to unduly delay the proceedings, and counsel 

apologizes for any inconvenience. 

Plaintiff does not oppose Defendant’s request for an extension of time. The parties 

further stipulate that the deadline for any reply by Plaintiff will be extended accordingly. 

 

 Respectfully submitted, 

Dated: December 12, 2018 Anne M. Su
