SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

STEVE A. URIAS, 

 Plaintiff, 

 vs. 

CAROLYN COLVIN, 

Acting Commissioner of Social Security,1

 Defendant. 

Civil No. 2:24-cv-03000-AC 

STIPULATION FOR EXTENSION OF 

TIME; [PROPOSED] ORDER 

Pending the Court’s approval, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties, 

through their respective counsel of record, that Defendant, the Acting Commissioner of Social 

Security (the “Commissioner”), shall have an extension of time to respond to Plaintiff’s Complaint 

in this case. This is the Defendant’s first request for an extension. In support of this request, the 

1

 Carolyn Colvin became the Acting Commissioner of Social Security on November 30, 2024. 

Pursuant to Rule 25(d) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Carolyn Colvin should be 

substituted for Martin O’Malley 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).

Commissioner respectfully states as follows: 

1. Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s Complaint is due to be filed by December 31, 

2024. Defendant has not previously requested an extension of this deadline. 

2. Despite working diligently to meet the case deadlines set forth in Federal Rules of 

Civil Procedures, recently amended to add Supplemental Rules for Social Security 

review cases under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), Defendant needs additional time in the instant 

case to review the administrative record, to consider the multiple issues raised in the 

record, and to determine the appropriate response. 

3. For these reasons, I am requesting an extension to February 14, 2025 (45 days), to file 

an Answer or other response in this matter. 

4. Counsel for the Commissioner has consulted with Plaintiff’s counsel who advised that 

he has no objections to this extension request. 

5. This request is made in good faith and is not intended to delay the proceedings in this 

matter. 

WHEREFORE, Defendant requests until February 14, 2025, to respond to Plaintiff’s 

Complaint.
