This is Plaintiff’s first 21 request for extension to file her Opening Brief. There is good cause for this request. The certified 22 administrative record exceeds 2,900 pages and Plaintiff intends on raising multiple fact-intensive 23 issues, which combined with an unusually busy briefing schedule has resulted in the need for this 24 25 26 27 28 request. As the Court is undoubtedly aware, Defendant has been diligently working to “catch-up” the backlog of certified transcripts due in federal court Social Security disability appeals nationwide, which has had the effect of significantly increasing the number of cases calendared 1 2 for briefing; 1 as a result, Plaintiff respectfully requests a 30-day extension of time to file her opening brief to ensure that the issues are fully and concisely presented to the Court. 3 4 5 Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court grant a 30-day extension to file her Opening Brief, which is currently due on May 16, 2022. The parties further stipulate that the Court’s Scheduling Order shall be modified 6 7 accordingly. Respectfully submitted, 8 9 10 11 May 9, 2022 DATED /s/ Meghan O. Lambert_____________ MEGHAN O.
