Case No. 2:16-cv-0953-CKD

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 motion for summary judgment with the Court by 30 days to 

January 23, 2017, and that all other scheduling dates set forth in the Court’s Case Management 

Order shall be extended accordingly. This is Defendant’s third request for an extension of time 

in this matter, but her first request for an extension of time to file her motion for summary 

judgment.

1

 

1 Defendant obtained two prior extensions to allow the Social Security Administration’s Office 

of Disability Adjudication and Review sufficient time to prepare a complete and accurate 

certified administrative record for this case.

There is good cause for this extension request. In particular, because counsel for 

Defendant will be out of the office on scheduled leave from December 26, 2016, through January 

10, 2017, there are workload issues that preclude filing the summary judgment motion by the 

currently scheduled deadline. Counsel for Defendant is currently responsible for drafting an 

appellate brief in a Social Security matter before the Ninth Circuit by December 23, 2016; 

counsel for Defendant is also responsible for briefing two other Social Security cases before the 

Ninth Circuit. Additionally, counsel for Defendant is currently responsible for drafting 

substantive pleadings before the district courts within the Seventh and Ninth Circuit, negotiating 

or litigating attorney fee matters pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act, and conducting 

discovery and preparing for a hearing in personnel litigation pending before the Merit Systems 

Protection Board.

This stipulation is filed in good faith and is not intended to unnecessarily delay these 

proceedings. Counsel for Defendant sincerely apologizes to the Court and to Plaintiff for any 

inconvenience caused by this extension.

Respectfully submitted,
