Case No.: 1:16-cv-00748-SAB
ORDER RE SECOND STIPULATION
TO EXTEND TIME TO FILE
PLAINTIFF’S OPENING BRIEF
(ECF No. 16)

On February 14, 2017, the parties filed a stipulated request that an extension

16

of time be granted to allow Plaintiff to file an opening brief and indicated that an

17

extension was needed as the parties have been unable to reach a settlement in this

18

action. (ECF No. 16.) The Court shall grant the parties’ request. However, the

19

parties are advised that due to the impact of social security cases on the Court’s

20

docket and the Court’s desire to have cases decided in an expedient manner,

21

requests for modification of the briefing scheduling will not routinely be granted

22

and will only be granted upon a showing of good cause. Further, requests to

23

modify the briefing schedule that are made on the eve of a deadline will be looked

24

upon with disfavor and may be denied absent good cause for the delay in seeking

25

an extension.
