Case No.: 2:19-cv-00024-DMC

JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR 

EXTENSION OF TIME 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by the parties, through their respective counsel of record, 

that the time for Defendant to respond to Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment be extended 

from January 15, 2020 to February19, 2020. This is Defendant’s second request for extension. 

Good cause exists to grant Defendant’s request for extension. Counsel for Defendant (Counsel) 

had been out on medical leave due to sustaining a wrist injury, rendering her incapable of using 

her left (dominant) hand all of last week. Counsel is still experiencing severe pain and is 

intermittently working until further evaluation of the extent of her hand injury. In addition, 

Counsel also has over 100+ active social security matters, which require two more dispositive 

motions until mid-February, and two pending Ninth Circuit matters which require multiple levels 

of review, one with a due date to the U.S. Attorney today, the current filing deadline and next

week. Due to unanticipated leave and heavy caseload, Counsel needs additional time to 

adequately review the transcript and properly respond to Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary 

Judgment. The parties further stipulate that the Court’s Scheduling Order shall be modified 

accordingly. Defendant makes this request in good faith with no intention to unduly delay the 

proceedings. Counsel apologizes for the belated request, but made her request as soon as 

reasonably practicable.
