UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On February 25, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation for Defendant Carolyn Colvin, Acting 

Commissioner of Social Security, to have a second extension of time to file a response to Plaintiff’s 

opening brief. (Doc. 15.) The scheduling order in this action permits “a single thirty (30) day 

extension” by stipulation of the parties. (Doc. 4 at 4.) Beyond this single stipulation, and requests to 

amend the schedule must be made by filing a motion. (Id.) Therefore, the Court construes the 

stipulation to be a motion for Defendant to have an extension of time.

Defendant’s counsel requests the extension “due to an especially heavy caseload in February 

2015, including fourteen district-court dispositive motions as well as two motions and one oral 

argument before the Ninth Circuit” (Doc. 15 at 1.) Further, she “inadvertently miscalendared the 

deadline for Defendant’s response.” (Id.) The Court will grant Defendant’s request for a further 

extension of time because Plaintiff does not oppose the request. However, the parties are cautioned 

that no further extensions of time will be granted without a showing of exceptional good cause.
