Plaintiff,

STIPULATION AND ORDER 

FOR EXTENSION OF

TIME TO FILE PLAINTIFF’S 

v. MOTION FOR SUMMARY

Andrew Saul, JUDGMENT

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant.

_______________________________________/

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

undersigned attorneys, and with the permission of the Court, that plaintiff’s time to file a motion 

for summary judgment is extended to April 27, 2020.

This is a first extension. Plaintiff’s attorney must work through an unusually large

situation --- having to handle an above-average number of hearings of these cases because his 

local hearing office off-loaded many to a second hearing office. However, in part because of 

canceling a vacation because of this virus, counsel has almost no hearings in April. Counsel is 

attempting to schedule and complete this backlog of motions during April, and this is his last 

proposed date for these opening briefs, with a Ninth Circuit reply brief due three days later.
