This is Defendant’s first request for an extension of time. Plaintiff does not oppose the
requested extension.
The undersigned counsel for the Commissioner respectfully submits that good cause exists
for the requested extension. Due to ongoing staffing fluctuations and organizational changes, the
undersigned counsel for the Commissioner has been tasked with additional duties including

serving as a jurisdictional coordinator, reviewing other attorneys’ work, training and mentoring

new attorneys, and handling more cases, including the instant case, which was recently reassigned

to her. The undersigned counsel for the Commissioner is also scheduled to be out of the office for

two weeks from late October into November. As a result, and despite diligent efforts to comply

client as necessary, and prepare the Commissioner’s Cross-Motion.
