TO THE HONORABLE SHEILA K. OBERTO, MAGISTRATE JUDGE 

OF THE DISTRICT COURT:

Plaintiff Donna Lee Stainthorp (“Plaintiff”) and defendant Carolyn Colvin, 

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

counsel of record, hereby stipulate, to extend the time for Plaintiff to file Plaintiff’s 

Opening Brief to August 15, 2014; and that Defendant shall have until September

A second extension of time is needed because Plaintiff’s Counsel’s Spouse 

receives weekly chemotherapy treatment for her Stage IV breast cancer which 

metastasized initially to her liver and continues to spread to her lungs and spine. 

Counsel requires the additional time to file the Opening Brief to allow him to devote 

the appropriate time to assist his Spouse and his two elementary school aged 

children through this obviously stressful experience. Counsel sincerely apologizes 

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