An extension of time for plaintiff is needed in order to properly address the 

issues within the administrative record in this matter as well as the demands arising 

from complications related to Counsel Spouse’s terminal illness which has 

unexpectedly worsened in the last few weeks. Subsequent to a surgical procedure 

on July 6, 2016 to remove tumors in the spine/hip as a result of stage 4 breast 

cancer, Counsel’s spouse was not discharged until July 9, 2016 and then Counsel’s 

spouse was re-admitted to the hospital for 5 days on July 15, 2016 due to 

complications arising from the July 6th surgery. Counsel’s spouse was also 

recently admitted on August 1, 2016 and then discharged on August 5, 2016, to 

provide treatment for intractable pain related to the terminal illness. Counsel 

sincerely apologizes to the court for any inconvenience this may have had upon it 

or its staff.
