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 February 28, 2020 to March 10, 2020. This is Defendant’s fourth request for extension. 

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

additional time due to ongoing health issues and apologizes for the belated request for extension, 

as she has been out on sick leave since February 27, 2020 for her health issues. In addition, on 

February 28, 2020, the date of the filing deadline, Counsel had to take her elderly mother to the 

hospital and was also unexpectedly out of the office on that date. In addition, Counsel also has 

over 100+ active social security matters, which require two more dispositive motions until midMarch, and a pending Ninth Circuit matter, which requires multiple levels of review due on

March 3, 2020 to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Due to unanticipated leave, heavy caseload and 

shortened staff, 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, as Counsel has been out of the 

office. Respectfully submitted,
