The parties hereby stipulate by counsel, with the Court's approval as indicated by issuance of the attached Order, that Defendant shall have a SECOND extension of time of 30 days to respond to Plaintiff's Opening Brief up to and including May 21, 2010. This extension is being sought because, while drafting the Commissioner's response to Plaintiff's Opening Brief, the undersigned counsel for the Commissioner realized that she must attempt to voluntarily remand this matter. The process of seeking voluntary remand requires further consultation with her client and cannot be accomplished within the time granted by this Court on March 23, 2010. Counsel regrets that she did not discover this fact earlier. Thirty days are necessary because Counsel will be out of the office from April 26 through May 7, 2010 and must complete and file 4 other briefs prior to her departure.
