Case No. 1:13-cv-00741-SKO
JOINT MOTION AND ORDER FOR AN
EXTENSION OF TIME FOR
DEFENDANT TO RESPOND TO
PLAINTIFF’S OPENING BRIEF
(Doc. 20)
15

17
The parties hereby move through their respective counsel of record that Defendant shall
have an extension of time of 30 days to respond to Plaintiff’s opening brief. Assistant Regional
18
19
Counsel Tina R. Saladino was assigned this case and has diligently attempted to complete
20
Defendant’s responsive brief in a timely matter. However, the undersigned counsel for Defendant
21
seeks this extension due to the press of workload including a high volume of other disability
22
matters and other general civil litigation in federal district court. Also, Tina has filed two briefs
23
this week and has to prepare for a deposition scheduled for next Tuesday. Moreover, because she
24
recently joined the agency, the agency requires rigorous review that takes approximately one
25
26
27
week. Tina has reviewed her schedule and believes she can prepare Defendant’s responsive brief
with an additional 30 day extension.
