UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On June 21, 2016, the parties filed a stipulation for an extension of time for Plaintiff to file an 

opening brief. (Doc. 18) Notably, the Scheduling Order permits a single extension by the stipulation 

of parties (Doc. 8 at 4), which was previously used by Plaintiff related to the opening brief. (Doc. 16) 

Beyond the single thirty-day extension, “requests to modify [the scheduling] order must be made by 

written motion and will be granted only for good cause.” (Doc. 8 at 4) Therefore, the Court construes 

the stipulation of the parties to be a motion by Plaintiff for modification of the Scheduling Order.

 Plaintiff’s counsel asserts the further extension of seven days is necessary because she recently 

suffered an illness was unable to comply with the prior deadline for filing an opening brief in the 

matter. (Doc. 18 at 1) In addition, Defendant does not oppose the request for the brief extension of 

time. (Id.)

Good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

1. Plaintiff’s request for a second extension of time is GRANTED; and

CHRISTINE MCKINLEY,

 Plaintiff,

v.

CAROLYN W. COLVIN, 

Acting Commissioner of Social Security, 

Defendant.
