Case No. 1:16-cv-01766-BAM
ORDER GRANTING STIPULATION TO
EXTEND TIME TO FILE PLAINTIFF’S

NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting
Commissioner of Social Security,
(ECF No. 15)
Defendant.

On September 12, 2017, the parties filed a stipulation to extend the time for Plaintiff to
16
file a reply brief from August 31, 2017 to September 13, 2017. Plaintiff’s counsel reported that
17
she had an unexpected significant health issue that prevented her from completing the reply brief
18
in a timely manner. (ECF No. 15.) On September 13, 2017, Plaintiff filed her reply brief. (ECF
19
No. 16.)
20
Generally, requests for court-approved extensions brought after the required filing date are
21
looked upon with disfavor. See, e.g. Local Rule 144(d). However, Plaintiff has established good
22
cause for the requested extension, and the brief delay will not result in prejudice. Accordingly,
23
Plaintiff’s request for an extension of time to September 13, 2017, to file her reply brief is
24
GRANTED nunc pro tunc.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
