BRENNAN, MAGISTRATE JUDGE OF THE DISTRICT COURT: Plaintiff Michelle Lee (“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 modify the time for Plaintiff to file Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment or Remand to February 9, 2015; and that Defendant shall have until March 11, 2015, to file his opposition. Any reply by plaintiff will continue to be due March 26, 2015. 26 -1- 1 A modification of the prior agreed upon schedule is needed because 2 Plaintiff’s Counsel’s Spouse is receiving treatment for her Stage IV breast cancer 3 which metastasized initially to her liver and progressed to her lungs, throat, and 4 spine. Despite chemotherapy treatment, Counsel was recently informed that his 5 spouse’s cancer has continued to progress with spinal tumor expanding into the 6 spinal canal and unequivocal progress of multiple tumors resulting in a massively 7 enlarged liver. In addition, on January 10, 2015, complications arising from this 8 disease process resulted in Counsel’s spouse’s hospitalization. Despite attempts to 9 slow the progression of the Cancer with at least 8 separate lines of chemotherapy 10 treatment Counsel’s spouses’ cancer has unequivocally progressed to the point 11 where her physicians have stated on January 13, 2015 that they “would be very 12 surprised to still be treating her one year from now” without some significant 13 response to treatment that has yet to occur. 14 Counsel notes that the modified briefing schedule continues to require any 15 reply brief to be filed by the same March 26, 2015 date as previously set by this 16 Court. Consequently, the modification results in a reduction of time for Counsel to 17 prepare any reply and does not extend the time for this matter to be submitted to the 18 Court for decision. Counsel sincerely apologizes to the court for any 19 inconvenience this may have had upon it or its staff. 20 /// 21 /// 22 /// 23 /// 24 /// 25 /// 26 /// -2- 1 DATE: February 9, 2015 Respectfully submitted, LAW OFFICES OF LAWRENCE D.
