STIPULATION & ORDER FOR
EXTENSION OF TIME

v.
NANCY A. BERRYHILL, Acting
Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant.

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

18

counsel of record, that Defendant shall have a 35-day extension of time, from November 1, 2017

19

to December 6, 2017, to respond to Plaintiff’s Opening Brief. All other dates in the Court’s

20

Scheduling Order shall be extended accordingly.

21

This is Defendant’s first request for an extension of time. Defendant respectfully submits

22

that good cause exists for the requested extension because additional time is needed to review and

23

evaluate the administrative record, to consider the issues raised in Plaintiff’s Opening Brief, to

24

accommodate counsel’s competing workload demands, including an increase in the number of

25

cases requiring briefing, and to determine whether options exist for settlement. Plaintiff does not

26

oppose Defendant’s request for an extension of time.
