ANDREW SAUL,
Commissioner of Social Security,
No. 1:20-cv-00197-GSA
STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR A
SECOND EXTENSION OF THIRTY DAYS
FOR DEFENDANT’S OPPOSITION TO
PLAINTIFF’S OPENING BRIEF
18
Defendant.
19
20
The parties stipulate by counsel that Defendant shall have an extension of thirty days, until
21
December 18, 2020, to file his opposition to Plaintiff’s opening brief. Good cause exists for this
22
extension, as explained below.
23
The originally assigned attorney for Defendant left the office, requiring reassignment to
24
another attorney for filing. However, because of workload inconsistencies between the regional
25
offices in the Office of General Counsel, an attorney in the Denver region has been assigned to
26
brief this case, and the undersigned attorney for Defendant will review, revise, and file the
27
opposition. The attorney responsible for briefing this case has been ill and was out of the office
28
in recent weeks, precluding him from working on this brief; he anticipates being out of the office
1
throughout this week and next week, and will therefore require additional time to brief this case,
2
and for the undersigned attorney for Defendant to review and file that brief. The undersigned
3
attorney for Defendant is currently reviewing briefs for two new attorneys in his office this week
4
and preparing for an oral argument before the Ninth Circuit this week, and does not anticipate
5
being able to brief the case this week either.

For all these reasons, Defendant requests an extension of thirty days to file his opposition
to Plaintiff’s opening brief. Plaintiff’s counsel has no objection to this request.
Respectfully submitted November 16, 2020.
