Case No. 1:15-cv-0310-EPG

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

EXTEND BRIEFING SCHEDULE

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the parties, through their undersigned attorneys, to 

extend Defendant’s time to file her response to Plaintiff’s opening brief by 28 days to March 30, 

2016, and that all other scheduling dates set forth in the Court’s Case Management Order shall 

be extended accordingly. 

On January 28, 2016, the parties stipulated to an extension of the briefing schedule to 

allow counsel for Defendant additional time to properly consider and research the issues 

presented in Plaintiff’s opening brief. However, there is good cause for this extension because 

Defendant is currently pursuing the possibility of settlement and voluntary remand in this case. 

Accordingly, Defendant needs additional time to prepare her responsive brief, if necessary. This

request is made in good faith and is not intended to unnecessarily delay these proceedings.

caused by this extension.
