STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties, through their undersigned 

attorneys, with this Court’s approval, to extend the time by 14 days, from January 17, 2025 to 

January 31, 2025, for the Commissioner to file her Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment. 

Plaintiff’s optional reply shall be due within 14 days after the filing of the Commissioner’s 

Cross-Motion. 

This is the Commissioner’s first request for an extension of time. Plaintiff does not 

oppose the requested extension. 

The undersigned counsel for the Commissioner respectfully submits that good cause exists 

for the requested extension. Due to ongoing staffing fluctuations and organizational changes,

counsel for the Commissioner has been tasked with additional duties including serving as a 

jurisdictional coordinator, reviewing other attorneys’ work, training and mentoring new attorneys, 

and handling more cases, including the instant case. Additionally, the undersigned has recently 

had to assist an aged parent with medical issues. For these reasons, despite diligent efforts in 

managing her workload, counsel for the Commissioner needs a short extension in the instant case 

to review the administrative record, consider the issues that Plaintiff has raised, confer with her 

client as necessary, and prepare the Commissioner’s Cross-Motion.
