CIVIL NO. C09-01799 HRL STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER

The parties hereby stipulate by counsel, with the Court's approval as indicated by issuance of the attached Order, that Defendant shall have an extension of time of 31 days, up to and including August 31, 2009, to answer Plaintiff's complaint. This request is being made because this case was originally assigned to an attorney who went on unexpected and extended medical leave resulting in the need to reassign her entire work load. In the process of these reassignments, the case tracking system used in the Commissioner's Office of the General Counsel has been unreliable and this case was inadvertently overlooked. Defendant will file the answer immediately after filing this proposed order so that no further delay occurs. /// /// ///
