1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 OLIN SCOTT ANDERSON, Plaintiff, 12 13 14 15 Case No. 1:16-cv-01434-SAB ORDER RE STIPULATION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME TO FILE OPENING BRIEF v. COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY. (ECF No. 14) Defendant. 16 17 On September 26, 2016, Plaintiff filed the present action seeking review of the 18 Commissioner’s denial of an application for benefits. On September 29, 2016, the Court issued a 19 scheduling order. (ECF No. 6). The scheduling order states that in the event Defendant does not 20 agree to a remand, within thirty (30) days of service of Defendant’s response, Plaintiff shall file 21 an opening brief. (ECF No. 5-1 at ¶ 6.) On May 1, 2017, Defendant filed a certificate of service 22 of her response to Plaintiff’s confidential letter brief. (ECF No. 13.) 23 On June 6, 2017, Plaintiff filed a stipulation to extend the time to file his opening brief 24 twenty-eight (28) days from May 31, 2017, to June 28, 2017. (ECF No. 14.) Based on the 25 stipulation, the time for Plaintiff to file his opening brief will be extended to June 28, 2017. 26 However, it would have been prudent for the parties to have filed the stipulation prior to the 27 deadline as the court had prepared, but not signed, an order to show cause on Plaintiff for failure 28 to timely file. The parties are reminded that any failures to comply with the scheduling order 1 1 may result in sanctions pursuant to Local Rule 110. The parties are advised that due to the impact of social security cases on the Court’s 2 3 docket and the Court’s desire to have cases decided in an expedient manner, requests for 4 modification of the briefing scheduling will not routinely be granted and will only be granted 5 upon a showing of good cause. Further, requests to modify the briefing schedule that are made 6 on the eve of a deadline will be looked upon with disfavor and may be denied absent good cause 7 for the delay in seeking an extension. If done after a deadline, the party seeking an extension 8 must show additional good cause why the matter was filed late with the request for nunc pro 9 tunc. 10 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 11 1. Plaintiff shall file an opening brief on or before June 28, 2017; 12 2. Defendant’s response to Plaintiff’s opening brief shall be filed on or before July 28, 2017; and 13 3. 14 Plaintiff’s reply, if any, shall be filed on or before August 14, 2017. 15 16 17 IT IS SO ORDERED. 18 Dated: June 7, 2017 UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
