IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the parties, through their undersigned attorneys, that
Defendant shall have a first extension of time of seven (7) days, from November 21, 2013 to
November 29, 2013, to file her opposition to Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment. This is
Defendant’s first request for an extension.
At the end of the day on September 30, 2013, the appropriation that had been funding the
Department of Justice expired and the appropriations to the Department lapsed. The same was true
for most Executive agencies, including the Social Security Administration. Effective October 17,
2013, funds were appropriated for the Department of Justice and the Social Security
Administration, and attorneys in both office are resuming their usual civil litigation functions.

Notwithstanding the return of all attorneys, the Office of the General Counsel for the Social
2
Security Administration has a substantial backlog of work as a result of this lapse in
3
appropriations. The Office of the General Counsel is working diligently to prioritize and work
4
through this backlog as efficiently as possible. As such, the Acting Commissioner requests a 7-day
5
extension of time for filing the Commissioner’s brief, with all other dates in the Court’s CMO to
6
be extended accordingly.
Respectfully submitted,
