No. 2:15-cv-2465-DB

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

EXTEND BRIEFING SCHEDULE

IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the parties, through their undersigned attorneys, to 

extend Defendant’s time to file her cross-motion for summary judgment with the Court by 30

days to November 30, 2016, and that all other scheduling dates set forth in the Court’s Case 

Management Order shall be extended accordingly. This is Defendant’s first request for an 

extension of time in this matter, and she requests it in good faith and without any intent to 

prolong proceedings unduly.

There is good cause for this extension request because counsel for Defendant has 

workload issues that preclude filing her summary judgment motion by October 31, 2016.

Specifically, counsel for Defendant was recently ordered to appear in person for oral arguments 

in multiple Social Security matters before the District of Hawaii; thus, due to the preparation and 

travel to Hawaii for these oral arguments, counsel for Defendant has been unable to attend to the 

instant case. Additionally, counsel for Defendant remains responsible for drafting an appellate 

brief for a Social Security case before the Ninth Circuit, drafting briefs and summary judgment 

motions in Social Security cases before the district courts within the Seventh Circuit and Ninth 

Circuit, and negotiating (or litigating) attorney fee matters pursuant to the Equal Access to 

Justice Act. Counsel for Defendant is currently responsible for conducting discovery in 

personnel litigation before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Counsel for 

Defendant is also currently responsible for drafting substantive pleadings and preparing for a 

hearing in personnel litigation before the Merit Systems Protection Board. 

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

inconvenience caused by this delay.

Respectfully submitted,
