Commissioner of Social Security,

ORDER EXTENDING
DEADLINE FOR
DEFENDANT TO RESPOND
TO PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
16
17
Plaintiff filed his motion for summary judgment in this social security action on
18
December 15. The Commissioner’s cross-motion for summary judgment was due on January
19
12. On February 1, the Commissioner filed a stipulation requesting a thirty-day extension,
20
citing counsel’s two-week absence from the office “over the holidays.” The Commissioner
21
offered no explanation for seeking the extension three weeks after the deadline. Nevertheless,
22
the Court extended the deadline to February 11.
23
On February 16, the Commissioner filed another stipulation requesting another thirty-
24
day extension, citing counsel’s “heavy workload including a pending brief in the Ninth Circuit
25
that is expected to take at least forty hours to prepare, review, and complete.” The
26
Commissioner again offered no explanation for seeking the extension after the deadline had
27
already elapsed.
28
1
There is no good cause for yet another thirty-day extension requested after the deadline.
2
It is time to move this case along. The Commissioner shall file a cross-motion for summary
3
judgment or otherwise respond to plaintiff’s motion by FEBRUARY 26 AT NOON.
4
5
IT IS SO ORDERED.
