TO THE HONORABLE DALE A. DROZD, MAGISTRATE JUDGE OF
THE DISTRICT COURT:
Plaintiff Karen Cooper-Belanger (“Plaintiff”) and defendant Carolyn Colvin,
Acting Commissioner of Social Security (“Defendant”), through their undersigned
counsel of record, hereby stipulate, subject to the approval of the Court, to extend
the time for Plaintiff to file Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment or Remand
to September 30, 2014; and that Defendant shall have until October 30, 2014, to
file his opposition. Any reply by plaintiff will be due November 6, 2014.

1

An extension of time is needed because Plaintiff’s Counsel’s Spouse receives

2

weekly chemotherapy treatment for her Stage IV breast cancer which metastasized

3

initially to her liver and continues to progress there and in her lungs, throat, and

4

spine. Counsel requires the additional time to file the Opening Brief to allow him to

5

devote the appropriate time to assist his Spouse and his two elementary school aged

6

children through this obviously stressful experience. Counsel sincerely apologizes

7

to the court for any inconvenience this may have had upon it or its staff.
