UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRESNO DIVISION

BRIAN CARR,

Plaintiff,

v.

KILOLO KIJAKAZI,

Acting Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant.1

No. 1:21-cv-01021-BAK (SKO)

STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR EXTENSION 

TO FILE DEFENDANT’S OPPOSITION TO 

PLAINTIFF’S OPENING BRIEF

(Doc. 18)

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between Jimmy Watkins (Plaintiff) and Kilolo 

Kijakazi, Acting Commissioner of Social Security (Defendant), by and through their respective 

counsel of record, that, with the Court’s approval, Defendant shall have an extension of time of 

thirty (30) days to file a Response to Plaintiff’s Opening Brief. This is Defendant’s first request 

for an extension on her Response to Plaintiff’s Opening Brief. The current due date is June 17, 

1 Kilolo Kijakazi became the Acting Commissioner of Social Security on July 9, 2021. Pursuant to Rule 

25(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Kilolo Kijakazi should be substituted, therefore, for Andrew 

Saul as the defendant in this suit. No further action need be taken to continue this suit by reason of the last 

sentence of section 205(g) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. § 405(g).

2022. The new date will be July 17, 2022. All other deadlines will extend accordingly.

Good cause exists for this request. Defendant’s counsel has worked diligently to meet the 

timelines provided by the Court but has been prevented from doing so by her busy schedule. 

Defendant’s counsel has sixty-seven other active cases in various stages of litigation, 20 

responsive briefs due in the next 60 days, and one oral arguments scheduled before the Ninth 

Circuit in June. Additionally, Defendant’s counsel has other responsibilities with another practice 

group in her office where the work cannot be extended. Defendant requests this extension in 

good faith, and with no intent to delay these proceedings unnecessarily. Defendant apologizes to 

the Court for any inconvenience caused by this delay.

Respectfully submitted,

ORDER

Based upon the foregoing stipulation of the parties2(Doc. 18), and for good cause shown 

(Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4)), 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant shall have an extension of time, to and 

including July 18, 2022, in which to file her response to Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment.3 

2 There appears to be a scrivener’s error in the body of the stipulation, which identifies “Jimmy Watkins” as the plaintiff, 

rather than Brian Carr, who is listed in the case caption.

3 The parties’ requested date of July 17, 2022, falls on a Sunday.
