Attorney for Plaintiff,

SHARON LEMKE

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHARON LEMKE,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY,

Defendant.

Case No. 2:23-cv-00698-JDP

Subject to the approval and any further orders of the Court, the parties, by and through 

counsel of record, stipulate and agree that the scheduling order for Social Security cases in this 

action [ECF No. 4] should be modified. Plaintiff’s time to move for summary judgment should be 

extended from 10/26/2023 to 12/26/2023, all other deadlines to be determined by reference to the 

Court’s scheduling order, and that good cause supports the extension of time. 

This is Plaintiff’s fourth request for modification of the scheduling order. Good cause 

supporting the extension of the filing deadline includes the administrative record is unusually

drafting. The one month civil trial previously scheduled to commence November 14, 2023 has

This request is made jointly in good faith, without dilatory motive, and not for purposes of 

undue delay or to prejudice the interest of any party.
